Direct Thread vs Plan B

[Konez]

I am currently getting my old AAC suppressor converted to a hub compatible mount and was hoping to get some opinions on direct thread vs plan b mounts when it comes to long range shooting. Are there any potential accuracy concerns when it comes to using a plan b mount over a direct thread mount?

while mine is direct thread my buddy (who is also on here) swears by his plan b mounts for the consistency and the tapered threads. Quick to swap between rifles and the tapered threads save hassle but I haven't made the jump yet. but just spending time shooting with him and talking, there have been zero issues with accuracy problems with plan b option

Ideally I would like to go with plan b since I would like the ability to use this suppressor on many different rifles and having some sort of muzzle device would be nice if I'm not using the suppressor for whatever reason. Good to hear that you and your buddy have no reported issues with his setup.

Still waiting for my suppressor to get back from the shop but want to figure it out before going out and buy a bunch of different mounts

In my first round of testing I looked at different mounts and how they affected recoil. Basically anything that fills the first blast baffle hurts recoil performance. I would assume sound but that is purely speculation. Not sure if that helps but throwing it out there.

I will say that my plan B’s have been great. I use them on multiple suppressors. As I have gotten more suppressors I have gone more to direct thread. I do have one carbon six barrel that would just never keep the suppressor tight but with a Q style taper mount works flawlessly. I’ve never noticed an accuracy difference, but I do think the cherry bomb does help with db ever so slightly. No hard data there, just anecdotal ear notes

From my experience with my suppressed 300 win mag, the suppressor does seem to tame the recoil a bit compared to when I tested it without. It is a mk13 without a muzzle device however, so the lack of flash hider/comp probably has an affect on it too when shooting unsuppressed

I've read that some people say the cherry bomb acts like a sacrificial baffle, sot that would check out as far as seeming quieter.

I was thinking of getting some Rearden R2S to start out since I like the look of the birdcage flash hider on most of my rifles I'm looking to suppress
