Reviews & Ratings for SureFire SOCOM Closed Tine .223/5.56 Flash Hider — 31 reviews — Page 1

Although I'm sure this product functions appropriately as a muzzle device, the wrench grooves required to install and torque the device are too narrow to accommodate either an armorers wrench or a standard drive crowfoot wrench. Three separate armorers wrenches are too wide to fit the groove - including Brownells armorer's wrench. I'm further annoyed this information isn't available on their website. For a $160 muzzle device, I expected better. Machining the part to accommodate a typical wrench makes sense, and I'm disappointed Surefire was unable to implement that. Their SFA2-556 muzzle device (now apparently discontinued) did not have this problem. If Surefire insists on these types of "innovations" (oversites), I recommend they either field test their equipment, ship all of their muzzle devices with an appropriately sized wrench head, or include a complementary grinder. I'm rating this product a 1 out of 5 because an average (3) muzzle device can be easily installed with any old armorers wrench and it is a solid regression from a previously existing product.

I have several Surefire cans and swap them often. I found this works better than the WARCOMP version.

Quick shipping good condition. Fits nicely. Good quality material. Firm, mount for suppressor.

Shipped and arrived in a timely manner. I have not had a chance to shoot my rifle yet with this on. I bought it to fit my RC2 suppressor that I am waiting on. Excited to try it out!

Great product. Delivered quickly . Will be placing another order soon

I put this flash hider on just about everything I build.

Great surefire product per usual perfect for my ar

These things are priced pretty high, but they are very well made.

Wanted something to complete my build and be able to use a suppressor or sound mitigation device on it. The higher quality is very noticeable compared to my other muzzle devices which helps me justify the cost, haha. I also chose the closed tine design over the three prong because of the twang sound I get from my other rifle (six prong). I haven’t shot it in the dark so I can’t say if it’s any better at hiding the flash compared to an A2 birdcage or any of my other muzzle devices.

Love it! Perfect build and comes with shims. Looks cool too! Also now I am ready for a Surefire suppressor whenever I am ready to add one!
You can tell just by looking at this one that it is made with quality materials. Nice finish on it. I am sure it will last forever!
