LMT DEFENSE 5.56 NATO 3 PRONG FLASH HIDER 1/2X28

The LMT Defense 5.56 NATO 3-Prong Flash Hider 1/2x28 is a high-performance muzzle device engineered to deliver maximum flash suppression while enhancing suppressor compatibility and shooter comfort. Its advanced three-prong design incorporates precision lightweighting cuts of varying lengths on each prong, giving each tine a unique natural frequency that helps eliminate the noticeable ringing or "ping" commonly associated with traditional open-prong flash hiders. Designed for use with the LMT ION Suppressor Series as well as HUB and Xeno-compatible suppressors, the flash hider features a precision-machined taper lock gas seal that optimizes blowback reduction, flash suppression, and sound mitigation while creating a secure, repeatable suppressor mounting interface. The design also helps reduce the likelihood of carbon lock, particularly when paired with LMT's RMSTD and RMSTDT suppressor bases, ensuring reliable suppressor installation and removal after extended use.

Constructed from premium 17-4 stainless steel and finished with a durable combination of Black Nitride treatment and C-192 Armor Black coating, the 5.56 NATO 3-Prong Flash Hider is built to withstand harsh environments and continuous firing schedules. Extensively tested to military and NATO standards for durability, reliability, sound suppression, flash reduction, gas management, thermal response, and full-auto operation, it delivers dependable performance on both professional-duty and enthusiast firearms. The precision-engineered taper lock interface promotes excellent accuracy and minimal point-of-impact shift when used with compatible suppressors. Proudly made in the USA, this 1/2x28-threaded flash hider provides a lightweight, rugged, and mission-ready solution for shooters seeking superior flash reduction, enhanced suppressor performance, and long-term reliability on 5.56 NATO rifle platforms.
