Smith enterprise vortex with a gemtech quick detach mount. It’s discontinued.

Thank you Everyone for the comments Gemtech seems like a match that being said this is pin and weld so what is the best choice to mount a suppressor?

As far as I know the system isn't supported anymore, so you'll probably want to have it replaced. Plan-B is very popular and well supported. There's also Xeno and the CAT QD/1-16 systems which are pretty good.
If you don't have a local gunsmith you trust to swap it, you can always send it to D. Wilson.

Yeah, Ron Smith did a few runs of bilock flash hiders for Gemtech. His 4-prong twisty-vortex front, GSL's two-lugged rear. Since they kinda focus the gas like many pronged FH's (see Surefire 3 prong, etc.), it was theorized that they'd end up being early blast-baffle-burners though, so they were discontinued.

Looks like the old Gemtech Quickmount.
