Guaranteed. Forever.

Guaranteed. Forever.® return policy applies to the product’s original owner along with proof of purchase. Any items returned within 45 days of shipment are entitled to a refund. Any items returned after 45 days of shipment will be issued store credit in the form of a Brownells Gift Card. If a Brownells/Sinclair product was purchased through another retailer as a new product we will require proof of purchase to replace or refund.  (Refund will be issued as store credit in the form of a Brownells gift card.)  

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.

Tactical Use of VORTEX
We have used the Smith VORTEX hiders for a long time now.We had problems with our Sheriff's Dept Night Vision scopes "BLOOMING" out with the standard M16 hiders (A very sensitive commercial brand) By exchanging the units, the Smith VORTEX took care of the problem.All items that we have obtained from Smith, have been top quality !!!!!CWO John M.Miller (ret)

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.

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!

Description states "Can be permanently attached to 14.5" long, M4 barrels for an overall length of 16.1" Photos do not show the pin hole which is required to enable permanent attachment. Please confirm/advise.

The pin hole would need to be drilled out on a vertical milling machine.

Hello, is it normal for this flash hider to thread on tightly? Compared to the muzzle brake my Camdon Defense CD-15 had originally, the Vortex G3-A6 screwed on really tight and had to put more effort.

It is normal for tolerances between threads to change the fittment.
