The Gemtech 12145 Quickmount Flash Hider eliminates muzzle flash while providing a secure mounting platform for compatible suppressors. This precision-machined flash hider transforms standard AR-15 rifles into suppressor-ready platforms without sacrificing standalone performance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard A2 flash hiders, the Gemtech Quickmount system features a patented locking mechanism that ensures consistent suppressor alignment shot after shot. The proprietary tooth design reduces flash signature by 95% compared to bare muzzles while maintaining the structural integrity needed for rapid suppressor attachment. Heat-treated steel construction withstands sustained fire schedules that would degrade lesser flash hiders.
Key Features
- Quickmount compatibility with Gemtech suppressor systems for tool-free attachment
- Precision 1/2"-28 TPI threading fits standard 5.56/.223 barrels
- 2.40" overall length provides optimal flash reduction without excessive weight
- Black oxide finish resists corrosion and eliminates reflective surfaces
- Closed-bottom design prevents debris accumulation in threaded areas
- Six-prong configuration breaks up muzzle flash across multiple directions
- Steel construction rated for full-auto fire schedules
Field testing demonstrates consistent flash reduction across various ammunition weights from 55-grain to 77-grain projectiles. The Quickmount system maintains zero when suppressors are attached or removed, making it suitable for tactical applications where sound signature management varies by mission requirements. Corrosion-resistant finish performs reliably in adverse weather conditions including saltwater exposure.
