Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a fantastic original military issue M191A6 M6 Flash Hider in new & unissued condition still in its original factory depot wrap. The entire flash in its wrap measures roughly 9¼” long with a 1⅞” diameter at the wider end.

This muzzle flash comes ready for further research and display!  

The M1919A6 was an attempt to provide US forces with a more portable light machine gun, similar to the German MG 34 and MG 42 machine guns that they were facing. The M1919A6 had a metal buttstock assembly that clamped to the backplate of the gun, and a front barrel bearing that incorporated both a muzzle booster and a bipod similar to that used on the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR). A lighter barrel than that of the M1919A4 was fitted. The M1919A6 was a heavy (32 pounds (15 kg)) and awkward weapon in comparison with the MG34 and MG42 and was eventually replaced in US service by the M60 machine gun in the 1960s.
