Gotta love that sound

@FastEddie718 im pretty sure modifying any military weapon with non authorized parts is against regulation:)

Young Manufacturing sells the "original" Lafrance based design with straight flutes but no snap ring groove. Mine looks just like the one in this patent from Lafrance 5433133. Vortex wasn't patented until 1997 and Lafrance sort of dismissed his F/H as "prior art" and in common use. Meanwhile Ron Smith sues left and right for the Vortex name and concept. To quote the Lafrance patent "The flash at night from the vortex flash hider is nearly undetectable."......Great product but the guy is a shark.

Tim Lafrance did a good thing when he came up with the original straight flute Vortex. I still don't know where my circa 95ish F/H was made by Richard Smith or Tim Lafrance. It's got a goove at the tip designed for a split ring (like keyring) to keep out branches but rumor has it that they unscrewed under full auto fire (Lafrance's big thing back then as C2) hence why Ron Smith is now selling the helix kind. More rumor says the helix doesn't help the flash rather than the tangential cut flutes.

I love Brownells ^^

There's no doubt, The Smith Vortex won this test hands down!

The vortex is very good at hiding the muzzle flash, but used in the military as the standard ordnance rifle's flash hider, I wouldn't think so. Snag is the biggest issue due to the (yet effective) prong design. Plus it makes a funny ring, that is actually annoying after a while.
They make a new one with tungsten carbide pointy bits at the end of all four prongs for window (or skull I imagine) breaching.

I think that Smith Enterprises won with their Vortex Flash Hider. It looked to be completely gone.
