The SureFire SOCOM6-MINI4 in Dark Earth is the earth-tone version of SureFire’s 6mm ARC suppressor (SureFire part no. SOCOM6-MINI4-DE). It is built entirely from U.S. mill-certified Inconel superalloy, with machined and 3D-printed components and CNC laser welding. A new muzzle design reduces frontal flash detection, and the low-back-pressure layout keeps the rifle cleaner. At 5.8 inches long it suits compact 6mm ARC builds. SureFire designs and manufactures it in the U.S.A.
