Suppressor mounts

[Dust Rider]

Instead of running mounts, why not just have all your barrels threaded to same pitch size or run a $20 thread adapter?

The cans are in a trust. We have 4 family members using them.
For us it is easier at the range or farm training using QD. Also two of them are teenagers who I don’t trust to not strip threads.
I won’t have my 5/8“ threaded Proof Research barrels re cut to 1/2”.
I do have thread adapters on my CZ’s

I'm curious, which QD attachments worked loose, since there are so many of varying quality and differing lock-ups. I've seen too many direct thread mounts, well torqued down, heat up and start to walk off. I've yet to have it happen with the taper mount.

Of the 5 that I have seen launch, 3 were SilencerCo ASR, one was a Rugged, and the final one was a Q with the Cherry Bomb.
I cannot say that they "worked loose". In my experience with the ASR, it is pretty easy to not get it fully seated before turning the lock ring.
In most cases of DT cans coming loose that I have experience with, there has been some sort of anti-seize or lubricant (gun oil or solvent) on the threads prior to putting the cans on. I make sure that my threads are completely degreased and I torque mine on pretty well. Since I have started doing that, I have yet to stick a can or have it come loose, even on a couple of barrels that have pretty short shoulders.

Im a few years into the Tbac cb system with no complaints.

Direct thread is nice as well, and simple, but really I have rifles that have too many different thread pitches. The cb mount offers some advantage to direct thread imo, but they’re not the deal that some make them out to be.

Hub is cool, but I’d im putting a direct thread insert I’m going to glue it in, making it essentially a direct thread. Enough shooting and that stucker will get carbon locked anyways. I don’t like my suppressor parts coming apart, ever. Watched a lot of guys screw their hub mount right off their can while the adapters sat on the barrel.

I like the Area 419 adapter on my target gun. I particularly like that I can switch between a brake and a can if I want.

But, I like direct threads on my hunting guns. Light is better.

Unless you're already using a titanium can with a direct thread titanium endcap, you might find that a 1.375/24 adapter and titanium muzzle device is lighter.

Have you ever actually wanted to take a silencer off and put a muzzle brake on? Serious question, I just can’t imagine wanting to do that.

If I take a silencer off, I just tout a thread protector on. If my rifle is set up for a silencer, the likelihood of me shooting it without one is about zero.

Yes. The rifle that has the Area 419 brake on it is dedicated100% to target work. With the brake, the gun barely moves.

Plus, I usually have the cans on other rifles.

If you end up hunting a state that doesn’t allow supressors you’ll want something depending on the caliber.

Even if that was the case, I’d never throw a muzzle brake on. I agree with @thinhorn_AK — toss a thread protector on and be done with it.

I’ve used ASR exclusively the last 7 years on my centerfire rifles between a few different suppressors. I also recently put a scythe in jail. When I get my scythe I plan to pull my ASR brake off my backpacking hunting rifles and go direct thread. Might just do it to all my dedicated hunting rifles.

I’ve had zero issues with the ASR for repeatability or accuracy. It’s been great and makes switching between rifles easy and drama free. But man, is it heavy. And in a hunting scenario the only real advantage I see is the firm lock up so I have piece of mind that it won’t come loose after knocking on a few branches.

I figure if I’m dropping the coin on an ultra light suppressor, I might as well take full advantage of it.

By the time you add an ASR mount and an ASR brake you’re going to add probably 7oz-ish. Not the end of the world, but the additional half pound hanging off the end of the barrel gets old.

Perhaps, again, not trying to be argumentative. I’m planning on a mouflon hunt in Hawaii and an ibex hunt overseas, both of which (Hawaii for sure) probably don’t allow silencers.

I’ve thought through this as well since lots of foreign countries are a no go for suppressors and that tends to be where my hunting interests predominantly are (not that I actually hunt abroad that much though).

I like DT for the suppressor and a threaded cap for places the sup can’t go. I’m going to give a linear compressor a try for my short barrel 7PRC just to move the blast further from me.

I have one brake … probably won’t buy more. Would rather level down In caliber to tame recoil than use a brake and speed up my hearing loss.

They don't, neither does canada. Off the top of my head, California, HI, il, and some states in the NE.

Good for you..

I'm still going to want a break on my 6.5 and 300 for spotting shots. The Thunderbeast CB brakes I run solve that requirement.

Alternatively people can step down to calibers whose recoil they can handle without risking their hearing via brake. But to each their own

I use direct thread, I'm not blasting hundreds of rounds downrange to the point I worry about the "sacrificial baffle" point (if it even has merit) and a QD would save me like ten seconds over dt which I'm also not going to sweat.

My first can is a TBAC CB that i use both on CB mounts and Area419 adapters. Main benefit to me is a 14.5" ar can use a pinned flash hider CB adapter to get to 16". Next 2 cans are direct thread. Easier/cheaper not needing adapters for every rifle and a 1/2 or 9/16 to 5/8 adapter is cheaper than a cb mount or area419 system.

A lot of the adapters can get very heavy.
