PRE-ORDER Guidance
As you are probably aware, recent updates to ATF's eForm approval process has resulted in drastically improved turnaround times. While this is certainly a positive change, it has also had a predictable impact on suppressor inventory across the industry.
With that in mind, if you know you want a particular suppressor (or three) and it isn't in stock, your best bet is to place a "PRE-ORDER" so that we can purchase your desired suppressor the moment it becomes available from our distributors. If you wait until it shows in-stock on the website, you might miss your opportunity. PRE-ORDER helps us seek out and purchase what you are looking for. This is true whether you buy from us or someone else.
Thank you for considering Longbow Arms, we hope to earn your business.

GATE-LOK™ FLASHCOMP 5.56MM 1/2X28
Ten years of muzzle device research, design, testing, and manufacturing resulted in our latest revision FlashComp. With winning features of our Hammer Comp integrated, the new flash comp adds an additional sacrificial baffle, offers better flash signature, and is reduced in weight!
The Griffin Armament Gate-LOK™ muzzle devices interface with Gate-LOK™ suppressors (M4SDK, M4SD2, 30SD, and 30SDK) as well as the QD Blast Shield.
The Gate-LOK™ Flash Comp optimally combines the functions of three traditionally separate classes of devices- Muzzle Brakes, Tactical Compensators, and Flash Suppressors. The Gate-LOK™ Flash Comp achieved a perfect 5 out of 5 in National Tactical Officers Association testing to achieve the rare, coveted, NTOA Gold seal of approval granted to devices which achieve perfect evaluations.
Compatible with the M4SD series Gate-LOK™ suppressor interface. The Flash Comp provides a sacrificial baffle to increase the service life of your silencer. It is also pre drilled, and 2.25" length for 14.5" to 16" permanently attached, Non-SBR, M4 carbine builds. For optimal flash reduction we recommend 14.5" or longer barreled host weapons. Extreme durability, low concussion, flash and recoil reduction are the wave of the future- the Flash Comp provides an elegant solution to a complex problem. Includes shim set for mounting to suppressor. An over-travel stop is no longer included with this muzzle device because the device features an over-travel stop machined into the device itself.
