The Rugged Suppressor FH003 R3L Flash Mitigation System eliminates muzzle flash while providing a secure mounting platform for Rugged's 7.62mm suppressor lineup. This precision-machined flash hider features aggressive prong geometry that disrupts burning gases at the muzzle, significantly reducing visible signature during low-light operations.
What Makes This Different
The R3L system combines flash suppression with Rugged's proprietary quick-attach mounting interface in a single component. Unlike traditional A2-style flash hiders, the R3L's four-prong design creates turbulence that breaks up the fireball more effectively. The integrated suppressor mount eliminates the need for separate muzzle devices, reducing overall system length by up to 1.5 inches compared to traditional mount-plus-brake combinations.
Key Features
- Four-prong flash suppression design reduces visible muzzle signature by 85%
- Integrated R3 quick-attach mount for Radiant762, Surge762, Razor762, and Micro30 suppressors
- Precision 5/8"-24 TPI threading fits standard .308/7.62mm rifle barrels
- 2.60-inch overall length minimizes added barrel extension
- 17-4 PH stainless steel construction with black nitride finish
- Wrench flats machined for secure installation with standard armorer's tools
- Heat-treated to Rockwell C 28-32 for extended service life
Field testing demonstrates consistent flash reduction across various ammunition types, from standard ball to match-grade loads. The R3L maintains zero shift under 0.5 MOA when transitioning between suppressed and unsuppressed configurations. The robust construction handles rapid-fire strings without degradation, making it suitable for both precision shooting applications and high-volume training scenarios.
