    Quietest with smallest flash I know of is a suppressor.


    Still Noisy but best flash suppression and forcing sound forward

    Noveske Flash Hider KX3 Pig

    If you look at the construction

    You'll see why it's expensive ...

    It's the first part of a suppressor!

    There are cheaper knock offs of the "Flaming Pig" with the end ring and internal cone being one part, not chromed. I found mine on AMAZON. Haven't fired it yet, but do have the original Bulgarian ancestor to the Flaming pig on an AK, and boy howdy does that work well to consume the flash!

    Well, that's a part of the Noveske Flash Hider design anyway

    KAK INDUSTRY "FLASH CAN". THIS IS A SOLID 6061 ALUMINUM DEVICE THAT IS DESIGNED TO DIRECT MUZZLE GASES AND THE MUZZLE FLASH FORWARD. THREADED 1/2-28 FOR 5.56 OR SIMILAR WEAPONS. BLACK MILITARY TYPE HARD ANODIZING. THIS DEVICE IS NOT DESIGNED TO REDUCE RECOIL, MUZZLE RISE, OR FLASH SIGNATURE. THIS DEVICE IS DESIGNED TO DIRECT GASSES AND NOISE FORWARD AWAY FROM THE SHOOTER AND ENHANCE THE WEAPONS APPEARANCE.. THIS MUZZLE DEVICE DOES NOT USE A CRUSH WASHER AND SHOULD BE TORQUED DIRECTLY AGAINST THE BARREL SHOULDER..

    OP had mentioned sticker shock so just pointing out a less expensive option.

    Well, I agree the $35 for KAK Flash Can is more palatable then the $120 for Noveske Flash Hider KX3 Pig.

    Here's a better/Cheaper copy of Krinkov Technology
    http://www.amazon.com/Krinkov-Style-.../dp/B00G3O95CQ
    $59

    Reviews are amusing like usual. Apparently it allows you to shoot steel cased ammo. Who would have thought :laugh:

    For a cheaper option and different aesthetic (don't want the can look), there's also the linear compensator.

    I put a Levang Lineaer Compensator on an AR pistol that I recently built, and it works very well to direct the noise and blast away from the shooter. Especially for the price, they're hard to beat.
    Service members, veterans and those concerned about their mental health can call the Veterans Crisis Line to speak to trained professionals. To talk to someone, call 1-800-273-8255 and Press 1, send a text message to 838255 or chat at VeteransCrisisLine.net/Chat.

    If you or someone you know might be at risk of suicide, there is help. Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, text a crisis counselor at 741741 or visit suicidepreventionlifeline.org.
