AR-15 VC-1 FLASH SUPPRESSOR 22 CALIBER Reviews & Ratings

Highly-efficient internal helical design uses ten precisely contoured longitudinal ports combined with a unique, cloverleaf-shaped exit port to trap unburned powder particles long enough for full burn and dissipation of hot combustion gasses. Muzzle flash cancels itself out to minimize shooter exposure during daytime and low-light situations. Also serves as a compensator by directing venting gasses to help reduce muzzle jump and improve shooter control for better shot placement. Precision machined from 4140 steel to stand up to rough tactical operations. 2-1/8" overall length brings a 14½" barrel up to legal length for civilian use when flash suppressor is permanently pinned or welded in place. Accepts most sound suppressors and Blank Firing Attachments designed to fit a M16/M4 flash hider. VC-1 fits .223/5.56mm AR-15/M16/M4 rifles;

SPECS: Steel, matte black Parkerized finish. 2-1/8" (5.4cm) long, .856” (2.2cm) O.D. Includes crush washer. VC-1 fits .223/5.56mm AR-15/M16/M4 rifles with 1/2”-28 tpi threaded muzzle.

Best Comp for money, can use BFA!

This comp will bring a 14.5" barrel to 16.1" legal OAL when pinned. It's currently the best bang for buck Comp on the market, it's $54.00, is very stable/robust, and allows user to use a BFA to shoot blanks.

great

Looking for a year and finally broke down and bought it. Wish I had sooner works great. Less rise less fire. Does kick a little dust up if you' re using a bipod. Worth it though.

Perfect for Gemtech HALO

Before getting this product, I couldn't use the Gemtech Halo with the SIG556 SWAT platform (10" NFA) due to the contour of the barrel. The Gemtech mount fits perfectly on the VC-1 flash hider and keeps the entire suppressor assembly mounted to the flash hider. This is a perfect solution for the Gemtech HALO.

Works very well

Great product, but when shooting prone, it did have a habit of kicking up more dust with custom handloads than with factory loads. Never noticed muzzle flash and no noticable muzzle jump with my heavy handloads. With factory loads, and lighter handloads, no muzzle movement at all. A little harder to clean than other compesnsators I have used, but with all the pluses for my rifle, I would use it again on another rifle that I am planning to build.
