The Kak Retro Taper Flash Hider 1/2X28 brings authentic mid-1960s rifle aesthetics to your modern AR build without sacrificing function.

It's the kind of no-nonsense component that appeals to builders who appreciate period-correct styling and quality made stateside.
Kak Industry designed this flash hider to replicate the iconic three-prong design that defined an era of military rifle development. Whether you're building a retro-inspired AR-15, completing a mid-length rifle, or just prefer the classic lines of vintage-style brakes over modern aggressive geometry, this taper flash hider delivers straightforward performance with visual character. The simple, proven design has stood the test of time—literally.
Installation is straightforward on any 1/2X28 threaded barrel. Note that a crush washer is not included, so source one separately if your build plan calls for it. This is honest-to-goodness American manufacturing from a company built on delivering solid components without inflated pricing.
