OPS/AE Flash Hider, 3-prong
For all OPS/AE pattern cans, including AEM5, OCM5, and OCM6
Compatible with all OPS/AE-pattern suppressors, including:
- Allen Engineering AEM series
- Otter Creek Labs OCM5
- Otter Creek Labs OCM6
Available in:
- .223 caliber
- .30 caliber
Developed in collaboration with Allen Engineering, this OPS/AE-pattern 3-prong flash hider is based on the short-pattern OPS/AE muzzle device geometry, allowing timing with either shims or a crush washer.
Shooter and Range Friendly
Unlike traditional OPS-pattern muzzle brakes, the 3-prong design significantly reduces concussion and blast when shooting unsuppressed, making it an excellent choice for rifles that will see regular use both suppressed and unsuppressed.
Built for a lifetime of hard use.
Built for a lifetime of hard use, the flash hider is manufactured from ETD-150 steel and DLC coated for long-term durability and corrosion resistance.
Features
- Compatible with OPS/AE-pattern suppressors
- Short-pattern geometry
- Can be timed with shims or crush washer
- Reduced concussion compared to OPS-pattern brakes
- ETD-150 steel construction
- DLC coated
- Pre-drilled pin-and-weld location
- Includes spacer
Pin & Weld Compatibility
When installed with the included spacer or via face mounting, the 3-prong brings a 14.5" barrel to slightly over 16" overall length for compliant pin-and-weld builds.
An indexed spot-drilled location is included to simplify pinning.
