View Full Version : Mk12 Mod0 screw on flash suppressor
Im well on my way to having a complete Mk12. Ive filled out the paperwork for a can and have begun the long wait. One item that still eludes me is the screw on flash suppressor. However Ive contacted a manufacturer who is willing to explore the flash suppressor with me if I can garner enough interested parties to be worth their time. I also need some tech specs to send them. I contacted SmallArmsSolutions (Chris Bartocci) because I know he has one but havent heard back.
If anyone is interested in the 3 prong screw on flash suppressor please chime in and anyone who can send any specs please also chime in.
This manufacturer already has something quite similar so it wont be a big stretch for them to make. I want a copy of the original, at least as close as I can get anyway.
Not using an Allen Engineering AEM5?

Well, I plan to when my long wait is over but this thread is about hopefully getting some people who may be interested in getting one of the 3 prong flash suppressors that thread onto the break in place of the can. And there appears to not be much interest which surprises me, theyre a rare piece of Mk12 memorabilia if you will.
If you are unfamiliar with the flash hider Im referring to it can be seen in Chris Bartoccis video on the Mk12 Mod1.
I'd certainly be interested in a picture of one.
Great! Please visit SmallArmsSolutions and watch Chris' Mk12Mod1 video on it. Its a really neat and I guess what some would call a unicorn.

Couple of notes:

It's a 4-prong, not 3. Also...

Verbatim from the video: "I've got something very interesting to show you guys, because this has never been shown before, because it never left the prototype stage."
If they're that rare, how would we have ever heard of them?
Monty LeClair, - Centurion Arms sourced correct barrels. Maybe he can source the FH, or point you in the right direction.

Yes, it is a four prong and I obviously just hit the wtong key because that is the video I cited ,but I never insinuated that they somehow should be known, all I said was that I was surprised that there didnt seem to be much interest.
Sorry I seem to have offended you but Jeez man, lighten up. Thanks for posting those screenshots though, Im much to old to be that cool.

Nope,neither Mr. LeClair nor anyone else can be of any help because , as so brilliantly pointed out above, they never were taked past the prototype stage but if you do view the whole video (which is why I made reference to it) you will see towards the end its use and he notes how well it works or should I say how well he likes it.
In all seriousness, there is an ops Inc / Allen Engineering mega thread over on TOS. I bet if you post there you would get more interest.

Ron Allen himself even posts in that thread from time to time.

Sometimes I dont artivulate my post very well. I have already found a manufacturer who is happy to explore making the flash suppressor for us , Im just trying to gauge interest.
I have gotten some fine technical specs for the piece and sent them to this manufacturer.
If anyone would be interested just post here. I havent gotten a per unit price yet but I will let you know when I do.
As far as TOS, yes, I am aware of their thread but I try to do as little as possible there.
Ha, I have another now collectable item (aside from my KAC FFRAS MRE and folding front sight/FSB?) ;)
I got mine when SPR was all the rage, don't think I've ever shot with it.

Yes, yes you do have another collectable. Good on you Roger. Would you mind taking some good pics of it and sending them along to me please? I would be in your debt sir.
Oh, and for folks who have a passion for replicating small arms historically significant they are still worth replicating. I love the AR M16 platform. Have since I first carried one in 1987. I find it to be a fascinating small arm, but Im sure you already know all of this.
Can do, what do you want to see, specifically? I kind of used the PRI slip on flash suppressor (along with the 3 prong one at 5 o'clock) as references for our upcoming 3 prong 1815 flash suppressor/comp.

3 years late, but I dug up one in my unused OPS parts supply as well as some A2 flash hiders that are threaded like the brake.

Those threaded A2s sound pretty neat, can we get a few pics?
HARMS4X on TOS makes faux AEM5s and reproduction OPS flash suppressor prototypes for a reasonable price.
