Reviews & Ratings for SureFire SOCOM 3-Prong Flash Hider — 40 reviews — Page 1

Easy to install looks good and simple directions, optional rockset comes with, directions are very understandable. QD mount for and surefire quick detatch supressors is built into it too

I have a couple of Surefire suppressors so I have more than a few Surefire flash suppressors.

Pros:

If you have a Surefire suppressor the Surefire flash suppressors are the only way to attach the (sound) suppressor to the firearm. I suspect Surefire might do a hub mount version at some point but who knows?

They do a very good job of suppressing muzzle flash when used as a stand alone device.

Cons:

When used without a sound suppressor you will hear a ping noise after each round fired.

They are not cheap.

Timing can be a bit of a pain the first time or two you attach one.

You will need a Surefire tool to mount these or you will likely need to grind a wrench down some in order to get it to fit (for the first closed tine flash suppressor I installed I bought a crows foot and thinned it down a bit, this allowed me to use a torque wrench).

It does need to be timed and unlike an A2 flash suppressor when used with a crush washer, you will need to be within torque specs.

General information:

If you have a Surefire sound suppressor chambered in 7.62 in addition to using it on a 30 caliber rifle you will also be able to use the same suppressor on an AR15 which has a Surefire flash suppressor in 1/2x28 but not the reverse (a 5.56 sound suppressor will not seat on a 5/8x24 (7.62) flash suppressor…which is a good thing).

While the installation appears intimidating at first as long as you have the right tools it isn’t that bad and Surefire has how to videos on line.

The SureFire 3-Prong Flash Hider Suppressor Adapter in 5.56mm lives up to the brand’s reputation for precision and durability. Fit and finish are outstanding, with excellent machining and a rock-solid feel once mounted. Materials and construction feel bomb-proof, exactly what you’d expect from SureFire. It strikes a great balance between performance, reliability, and compatibility. If you’re looking for a high-quality flash hider that doubles as a dependable suppressor adapter, this is a top-tier option that’s well worth the investment.

Work as design. Fir peefzctly with my RC2 suppressor.

Just my opinion, the Surefire RC2 is still the king. Not the quietest. Not the smallest. Not the lightest. Still has back pressure. But does what a suppressor should. Virtually no signature and is completely reliable. The 3 prong is a solid connection point. Better than the Warcomp if you’ll always be running a suppressor. Better gas seal and lower carbon lock issues.

One of the best flash hiders on the market. Highly recommend!

Great for flash suppression and excellent mounting and sealing for the Surefure cans.

Awesome product fits great I don't have anything else to say about this item

I have been using OpticsPlanet for a while now. My go to for gun supplies and builds. This flash hider was used with my suppressor. No issues.

Tool Preparation: Get a thin 3/4-inch wrench or a crow's foot wrench for torquing. You might need to file the inside of the wrench to ensure it fits properly.

Rewiring: Rewire the components to ensure proper functionality.

Clocking Adjustments: Use shims for precise clocking. They work excellently for getting it aligned correctly.
