What is the SMITH ENTERPRISE - Vortex G6-A2 Flash Eliminator22 Cal 1/2-28 Steel Parkerize?

Four, specially angled flutes hide nearly 100% of muzzle flash, even during full-auto fire, by dissipating gas and retaining unburned powder for increased residual burn. Constructed of the same 8620 bar stock steel used in the manufacture of AR-15/M16 bolts and carriers, then case-hardened to provide a high-strength core and tough, outer shell. Special, helix design helps align exiting barrel gas to improve accuracy with all bullet types.

Skirt extension conceals gap between barrel shoulder and flash hider on AR-15, M16, and M4 rifles. Grooved base ring allows integration of Blank Firing Attachment (BFA) used by law enforcement trainers, and permits installation of the Smith Enterprise M4DC CQB sound and flash suppressor (available factory direct to USG/LE and FMS customers). Thread-on design requires no washer. Torque to 10 ft. lbs. maximum, self-tightens as weapon is fired. Use M-193, SS-109 (M855), and MK 262 service ammo for highest degree of flash suppression. Can be permanently attached to 14.5" long, M4 barrels for an overall length of 16.1". G6-A2 has smooth exterior.

SPECS: 8620 steel, Parkerized, black, matte finish. 1/2"-28 tpi. 2.31" (5.9cm) long, .858" (22mm) dia. 3.1 oz. (88 g) weight. Fits AR-15, M16, and M4.

Reviews Summary

The AR-15 Vortex G6-A2 Flash Eliminator is highly regarded by users for its impressive ability to significantly reduce muzzle flash, even in low-light conditions. Reviewers praise its easy installation and excellent construction, although some note it can kick up dirt when shooting prone. Overall, it is seen as a reliable and effective product for flash suppression.

What Reviewers Are Saying

Flash Suppression

85%

The primary strength of the Vortex G6-A2 is its exceptional performance in reducing muzzle flash, which many reviewers highlighted as being nearly nonexistent during night shooting. This feature is critical for users looking to maintain stealth and avoid revealing their position in low-light scenarios.

Ease of Installation

75%

Users frequently mention the straightforward installation process that requires no special tools or extensive effort. Many reviewers appreciated that it can be installed hand-tight, and the design allows for self-tightening upon firing, which is a significant advantage for those without gunsmithing experience.

Performance in Low Light

70%

Several reviews testify to the Vortex's effectiveness in dark settings, noting substantial reductions in flash visibility, even with standard ammunition. This performance is particularly commendable for tactical training and shooting exercises conducted at night.

Kicking Up Dirt/Dust

40%

A point of contention for some users is the flash hider's tendency to kick up dirt or dust when firing from a prone position. This aspect received mixed feedback, with some users finding it manageable, while others deemed it a significant drawback for tactical scenarios.

Comparison to Other Products

30%

A few reviewers compare the Vortex G6-A2 to other muzzle devices, noting it is effective primarily as a flash suppressor and not as a compensator. Some users suggest considering alternative options if weight and versatility are concerns, while others remain loyal to the Vortex's proven performance.

Great Flash Hider

I have this FH installed on multiple SBRs - 2 with 10.5" barrels and 1 PSD with an 8" barrel. I shot the 5.56mm Mk318 Mod 0 ammunition through the PSD in total darkness at a Carbine Course and none of those to my sides or behind me witnessed any muzzle flashes. A couple of those to the side just saw a few sparks.

Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Flashless

The Smith Enterprises Vortex is probably one of the best that I have used over the past 50 years of dealing with the AR-15/M-16. Even with ammunition not using flash retardant powders, the muzzle flash from firing under low light conditions resulted in little to no flash signature.

Vortex flash eliminator

I use this product on every firearm that I own AR Ak Scar556 223 7.62 M14 FAL These are flash eliminators . I to have tested at night and they work. Shoot your bird cage/muzzle break at night you will be amazed.

excellent upgrade over A2 flash hider

I was impressed with this style of flash hider after shooting my nephew's gun that had this type of flash hider. It is very well machined and will be easy to clean. It hides flash well and you don't lose the compensator effect as bad as I thought. A bit more expensive, but it is worth it.

Excellent flash suppressor

I have several of the Smith Vortex muzzle device and they work very well. My main interest is minimizing tell tale muzzle flash. AR recoil is not a concern so not interested in compensating recoil. As to kicking up dust when shooting prone, not a concern for my style of shooting.
