What is the SMITH ENTERPRISE - Vortex G6-A3 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-A3 model adds helical grooves on the outer surface that help minimize carbon buildup between the Vortex and the M4DC, making installation and removal of the suppressor is easier.

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.

Great

I originally had a muzzle brake on my rifle and decided to buy this product because of its cost and ease of installation. Installation requires no tools , washers, or spacers. Just hand tight it in and fire the rifle and it'll self tighten. Muzzle flash is significantly reduced (compared to muzzle brake). Only downside I see with this product is that when lying prone to fire, the gas expelled from the rifle may kick up dirt and dust. If that bothers you, I would suggest buying the classic A2 bird cage flash suppressor.

Works Great

I was running an A2 flash hider on my 10.5 with a Swampfox prism sight. Every time I fired the gun I was blinded out of my optic for a second from the flash. I hated that, I couldn't follow my impact and you loose situational awareness. I put this on, no more flash at all. The tuning fork noise is very minimal as well. Doesn't need to be timed, no need for a crush washer, makes install a breeze, and it is very flat shooting as well.

Vortex flash eliminator

Not much i can ad too what's already been said. The Smith Vortex G6-A3 works. Thanks Brownells for stocking high quality products

The Only FLASH ELIMINATOR That WORKS!

Out of the Many Flash Hiders that I've used NON COMPARE The The Smith Vortex in Flash Suppression. I've used this with various ammo and The Vortex never fails to suppress the muzzle flash no matter what powder is used. It even suppresses the flash on 7 inch barrels. IMO This is The Only Flash Suppressor to buy!! FIVE STARS!

Tactical / Home defense use with Vortex

I had good results on my other AR's so I purchased this one for my new Smith and Wesson M & P 15. I know it will not let me down with no flash at night. A awesome product from Smith Enterprises, keep up the great work!
