Vanguard Nightshade Wraith-MSRP $2,949.99

The Nightshade Wraith is the ultimate expression of the Vanguard Defense philosophy. It is not a rifle with a suppressor; it is a single, perfectly tuned, mission-ready weapon system. We've combined our specialized Nightshade SBR and our high-performance Umbra suppressor, unified them with an exclusive PDW stock, and created a package that delivers an unparalleled level of performance, balance, and convenience right out of the box.

Beyond the Sum of its Parts.

A truly superior suppressed firearm is more than just a collection of high-end components. It's a system where every part is engineered to work in perfect harmony. The Wraith is not a bundle; it is a singular solution.

  • The Nightshade's gas system is meticulously tuned at the factory for the specific flow rate and backpressure of the Umbra suppressor. This eliminates guesswork and ensures absolute reliability and optimal performance, both suppressed and unsuppressed.

The Wraith is the only firearm in our lineup that comes standard with a premium, rapid-deployment PDW-style collapsible stock. This exclusive hardware provides an ultra-compact profile for transport and storage, without compromising on stability.

As a factory-produced suppressed SBR, the Nightshade Wraith is a single NFA item that can be transferred on a single Form 4. This simplifies the acquisition process, making it the most seamless way to own a complete, top-tier suppressed system.

The Wraith Advantage

Every component of the Wraith system was chosen to create a firearm that is balanced, durable, and intuitive. 

The included Umbra suppressor is a testament to our "no compromises" hybrid design philosophy. It combines a lightweight Titanium tube with a hyper-durable Inconel blast baffle and Stainless Steel main baffles, creating a suppressor that is both exceptionally light and built for a lifetime of hard use under the abuse of a short barrel.

The fast-deployment PDW stock is the signature of the Wraith system. It allows the firearm to collapse to an incredibly short overall length, making it ideal for discreet transport and close-quarters maneuverability, while deploying instantly to a stable, comfortable shooting position.

Even in this specialized package, the Wraith is built around the same crisp, reliable "Sentinel" S7 tool steel flat-faced trigger as our flagship Aesir rifle. We made no compromises on the most critical interface between the shooter and the firearm.
