Early U.S. Advisors & Air Force ‘Model 01’ flash hiders originally issued with the guns starting in 1963. These AR15/M16 duck billed flash hiders are “retro” models that were succeeded by the standard GI ‘prong’ model & later in 1969 by the ‘birdcage’ model. Like all AR15 flash hiders, they are designed to obscure the rifle’s muzzle flash, keeping the sight picture clear and unobstructed for faster, more accurate follow-up shots. These duck-bill flash hiders for AR15 rifles have prongs that disperse gasses to the sides, helping to dissipate ported gasses, minimizing muzzle flash. Unlike muzzle brakes, they are not designed specifically to reduce recoil and muzzle movement, New mfg.

Duckbill flash hider
I was a little disappointed when I first got this as I thought it was the two-pronged duckbill. Instead, it has three prongs.
I installed it on my 10.5” barrel SBR, and it works great!
Make sure you use a crush washer to get the timing on the flash hider right. I put mine so one time is down and two are up.
It does add a cool factor to what you put it on. And, yes, I’m planning on getting another for my 11.5” SBR. -
Great Flash Hider
Very nice, looks really good fits good and it completes the setup on retro clone M-16/AR-15.
