Noveske, KX3, Flash Suppressor, 5.56 NATO, Fits AR-15, 1/2X28 Thread Pitch, Nitride Finish, Black, Includes Crush Washer - SKU: 05000517 - UPC: 840906103715
Product Description
The Noveske KX3 Flash Suppressor (05000517), famous as the original "Flaming Pig," is a heavy-duty linear muzzle device designed specifically for 5.56 NATO / .223 Remington short-barreled rifles (SBRs) and AR-15 pistols. Featuring a robust 1.35-inch outer diameter housing, the KX3 is engineered to control violent muzzle blast, flash, and gas expansion on short carbine gas systems.
Precision-machined from high-strength heat-treated steel with a durable black nitride finish, the internal conical expansion chamber funnels muzzle blast, noise, and unburnt powder forward downrange away from the shooter. This linear redirection eliminates severe side-concussion for team members and adjacent bench shooters, while simultaneously creating backpressure inside the barrel to boost reliability and cycling consistency on short-barreled 5.56mm setups.
Individually serial-numbered for strict quality control and adorned with the iconic laser-etched Noveske Flaming Pig logo, the 05000517 features standard 1/2x28 thread pitch geometry and includes a crush washer for exact timing and lockup.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Fitment Matrix: Fits 5.56 NATO and .223 Rem barrels threaded in 1/2x28. The 1.35" outer diameter requires a wide-bore handguard (1.375"+ internal clearance) if installing partially tucked under the rail.
- Verify host firearm is completely clear, magazine removed, and chamber visually and physically confirmed empty.
- Clean barrel muzzle threads thoroughly with a wire brush and solvent to remove carbon buildup.
- Slide included crush washer onto barrel threads with the cup side facing toward the receiver.
- Thread the Noveske KX3 onto the muzzle by hand until flush against the crush washer.
- Use an armorers wrench on the wrench flats to index the Flaming Pig logo to your preferred orientation (1/4 to 3/4 turn past hand-tight).
