The SilencerCo AC5326 Closed-Tine Flash Hider delivers superior muzzle flash reduction for .223/5.56 platforms while maintaining the option for future suppressor mounting. This closed-tine design eliminates the sharp prongs found on traditional flash hiders, reducing snag hazards during tactical movements while providing effective flash signature mitigation.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard A2-style flash hiders, the AC5326 features a closed-tine configuration that prevents fabric and gear entanglement without sacrificing flash suppression performance. The precision-machined design redirects combusting gases away from the shooter's line of sight more effectively than open-prong alternatives. SilencerCo engineered this flash hider with suppressor compatibility in mind, allowing seamless transition to sound suppression when mission requirements change.
Key Features
- Closed-tine design eliminates snag hazards on gear and clothing

Field testing demonstrates consistent flash reduction across various ammunition weights and powder charges. The closed-tine geometry maintains effectiveness in low-light conditions while preventing the wire-cutting issues associated with traditional birdcage flash hiders. Installation requires standard armorer tools, and the robust construction withstands high round counts without degradation in performance or timing.
