The LBE Unlimited ARFH3PNG Three Prong Flash Hider delivers effective muzzle flash suppression for AR-15 platforms chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO and .223 Remington. This tactical muzzle device reduces visible signature during low-light operations while maintaining reliable cycling and accuracy.
What Makes This Different
The three-prong design distributes gas flow more evenly than traditional A2-style flash hiders, resulting in superior flash reduction without excessive blast redirection toward the shooter. Constructed from 1215 steel with a black phosphate finish, this flash hider resists corrosion better than basic parkerized alternatives. The precisely machined threads ensure proper timing and secure installation on standard AR-15 barrels.
Key Features
- Three-prong configuration for enhanced flash suppression compared to single-slot designs
- 1215 carbon steel construction with black phosphate coating for durability
- Standard 1/2"-28 TPI threading fits most AR-15 barrels in 5.56/.223
- Crush washer included for proper timing and secure installation

- Compatible with most rifle-length gas systems
- No gunsmith required for installation with basic tools
Field testing demonstrates consistent flash reduction across various ammunition weights from 55-grain to 77-grain bullets. The design maintains proper gas pressure for reliable cycling with both carbine and rifle-length gas systems. Weather exposure tests show the phosphate finish maintains protection against moisture and handling wear during extended use.
