Charlie's loves US made tools that just work. We are not your Ace Hardware Store for gunsmithing tools, but occasionally we find a tool that works, and that is what you find on our Website.
AAC made this socket back in 2016-ish for their Blackout and Breakout flash hiders. Turns out, it works with almost any 3-prong flash hider. Tested on Surefire, Dead Air, Rugged, FN and Slicencerco. I will not work with Sons of Liberty NOX flash hiders. You can insert a 3/8" socket driver, or the exterior has flats for a 3/4" wrench.
This AAC Blackout Flash Hider Installation Tool is an excellent solution for armorers, gunsmiths and/or gun enthusiasts to quickly and easily install or remove many 3-prong flash hiders without marring its finish or damaging the teeth of a quick detach silencer interface when applying the required torque for the job. We recommend some painter's masking tape or electrician's black rubber tape, just to be sure.
Note: Is not compatible with SOLGW NOX flash hider
Manufacture's Part Number: 64185
Note: This can be a DIY project, but Charlie's always recommends you use a qualified armorer or gunsmith. As with any firearm, care should be taken to make sure the firearm is not loaded. You are working with the barrel !!
