The Griffin Armament Recce 5K is the compact, machined version of the Recce 5, sized for 5.56mm carbines and short-barreled rifles (Griffin part no. GAREC5KW). Griffin CNC machines the tube and baffles from 17-4 stainless steel and laser-welds them together. Its ECO-FLOW MOD 6 baffle system is tuned for gas-operated rifles, so the shooter gets less back pressure in the face. A flash-hiding end cap and the Rapid-Index Taper Mount interface round out a can built for a repeatable point of impact. Griffin rates it up to .22-250, which gives a carbine owner room to grow.
