KGM Suppressors

[SUD1988]

I noticed these KGM suppressors in a couple of hunting articles. I haven’t heard much about them. Are any of you guys running them? I am looking at the Titanium R65k.

Didn’t they make most of the silencers for dead air?

That’s some of the information I was finding. There were some issues that came up regarding KGM and some stuff they made for dead air. I just can’t find much on this KGM branded stuff.

I have had an r30 for a few years and have had no serious issues. Not sure exactly what you are looking for as far as info? Only annoying thing for me initially was that at the time I bought mine it was listed as 10 ounces with direct thread but actually weighs 14. I believe they have since changed the weight listed from 10 to 14 ounces.

I just always leave all the ports open and it’s still a really quite can. Supposedly you can close off the ports except for the ones facing up and that reduces muzzle rise. It gets moved around guns to much for me to mess with that though.

If you have any specific questions just let me know

Yes, including the Sierra 5’s which were a disaster

I thought they kind of shuttled a lot of their own can production to focus on .gov and being OEM for other brands? Are they still cranking out the R models?

I know the Daniel Defense soundguard cans are KGM cans as well.

I have an R30T and an R556 from when they offloaded them cheap a while back. The R30T is a good can and I use it on all the AR's, but the proprietary required muzzle device turns me off and it's heavy. You can adjust the vents up front or plug them all for no vent, so you can sort of tweak the recoil direction a little bit. The R556 I have on my primary carry AR and it'll handle some serious abuse, but sound suppression isn't as good as a Polonium as it's vented to reduce gas, which it does a pretty good job of I think but I've got nothing to compare that to so FWIW.
