Air Lock Industries Suppressor

[Captains1911]

@AirlockIndustries Do we have an eta on the 2/21 zg30 orders?

Last message I saw said 2/21 orders would start shipping late May.

Anyone found an easy way to clean the Titanium powder off the threads?

Compressed air, carb cleaner, dishsoap and water are slowly improving it, but still got a bunch in there.

About to try red and tacky grease on a fish hook or pick. Pick alone was moving them around, but seemed like static was redepositing them as fast as i could scrape.

Having a tough time threading the suppressor on the barrel? I thought maybe it was just mine. Not terrible but certainly takes more effort than I expected.

Yeah, it was pretty much a no go with maybe 1 thread engagement at first. After a bunch of cleaning, it will get almost halfway before hitting another chip and binding up.

Its slowly getting cleaned, but has been a process so far with no easy fix.

Sheesh, sounds like a warranty issue to me? Some residue is one thing, but this can isn’t working as intended. Have you emailed them about it?

Maybe try a wiring brush ?
Have you contacted airlock and asked them what to do

 

[naked wombats]

Yeah, thought about trying a pistol sized bronze brush, that kit appears to be MIA right now.

Hadn't asked airlock yet, thought maybe there was something everyone was doing with these cans other than a quick wipe with an oily patch I wasnt aware of.

A quick wipe down or, at most, twisting a tight paper towel wrap into the threads, is all I have ever had to do.

Typically, just some gun oil on a paper towel works.

That being said if you’re having issues, send us a DM, more than happy to send you an overnight label and ship it back to us just to make sure everything’s good and we can clean it for you as well.

Awesome. Thank you.
Gonna take another stab at it tomorrow and see if I can get it since its about halfway there so far.

Maybe grease up the muzzle threads good and spin it on and off then blast of the ti powder filled grease with parts cleaner? That's what I had to do with with an og65.

Ended up doing similar along with threading in a quad folded microfiber towel repeatedly. Kept getting closer and closer, cleaned again, rinse and repeat.

It does feel much more snug than other muzzle devices, hopefully just tight tolerances, and should be good to go.

I will say the form factor of the nano is awesome. I along with a couple buddies would definitely buy a 6mm version of similar dimensions.

Finally got a chance to shoot my 6.5 and this thing is impressive. Almost silent with muffs on, sure it won't be too bad in limited volume without hearing protection. No issues with mirage using the LS Wild cover.

Anyone else experience pretty much no POI shift? Two cold bore shots off a tiny bit and then stacked 5 on top of each other without touching zero.

Getting excited about getting my New Year's pre-order 6.5. Just got the tracking notification yesterday.
