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.

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 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.
Every component of the Wraith system was chosen to create a firearm that is balanced, durable, and intuitive.
The Vanguard "Nightshade Wraith" is a regulated NFA item and is scheduled for its official launch in Late 2026.
