The SureFire SOCOM Flash Hider in 5.56x45mm, Black DLC (brand part no. FH556RC-1/2-28) is the exact flash hider SureFire developed to dominate the most rigorous suppressor trial in military history and earn the USSOCOM suppressor contract. Its four-tine design cuts muzzle flash by more than 99% compared to a bare muzzle, delivering extreme signature reduction along with rugged dependability. Multiple bearing surfaces ensure proper suppressor alignment, letting the flash hider double as a rock-solid mounting platform for any SureFire SOCOM Fast-Attach suppressor. Precision-machined from U.S. mill-certified stainless-steel bar stock and heat-treated for added strength, it resists gas and particle erosion for years of service. For 5.56 shooters who want SOCOM-trial-proven flash suppression, this NFA accessory is built to a military standard.
