Thunderbeast suppressor CB

[TTT]

I have a CB version of an Ultra Gen 2. Is the peel washer necessary if I do not intend to use the TBAC brake when shooting non-suppressed?

All of the rifles I want to use it on already shoot very well with their own brake devices. A few would only wear the suppressor only for practice or for family fun activities. Even my main hunting guns would only have the supressor on when used in a blind and not when carried up a mountain.

Sending it back to get converted to DT would not work for me since I have rifles of different thread patterns.

I asked the same question of TBAC recently. I planned to use Loctite to secure the CB but I didn’t plan on shooting unsuppressed. They said it wasn’t needed, but I ended up putting the peel washer on and it was pretty easy to do. And I’m an idiot.

Are you planning to remove the CB each time?

No peel washer needed if you always shoot it suppressed. I have non-timed CB's on 3 rifles with no issues.

You can also buy a non-timed CB brake that doesn't require timing and can be shot without suppressor with no issues: https://thunderbeastarms.com/products/accessories

EXTRA 223CB/30CB NTB​

THE 223 AND 30 CAL NON-TIMED-BRAKE (NTB) ARE AN ABBREVIATED VERSION OF THE CB BRAKE AND ARE INTENDED FOR MOUNTING THE CB SERIES SUPPRESSORS WHEN THE SHOOTER WILL ALMOST ALWAYS BE SHOOTING SUPPRESSED. THE BRAKE PERFORMANCE OF THE NTB WHEN THE SUPPRESSOR IS NOT BEING USED IS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED VS. THE NORMAL CB BRAKES DUE TO ITS REDUCED SIZE. THESE BRAKES DO NOT HAVE TO BE TIMED AND HAVE PORTS IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
IONBOND DLC FINISH (MONOCOLOR DARK GRAY)
* NOTE: 1/2-28 THREADS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR LARGER THAN .223 CALIBER BORES BECAUSE THE ROOT DIAMETER OF THE THREADS LEAVES TOO LITTLE WALL THICKNESS. PLEASE REFER TO OUR THREAD SPECIFICATIONS PAGE FOR MORE INFORMATION.

I would remove the CB each time when shooting unsuppressed. All these rifles are load developed and sighted in with either their specific muzzle brakes or bare (just thread protector on).

My idea is to work up each rifle’s load and suppressor preferences and get them dialed in when wearing that suppressors.

Had I understood more when I ordered last year, I would have bought direct thread for all of them.

Your going to end up with a direct thread can if I understand you.

The CB brakes are made to me loc tite on to the barrel so they don’t screw off. Once you get some carbon on that taper, if you don’t have it secured to the muzzle it’s just going to spin off and stay in the can.

If you want to do what I think your describing I would just by a couple CB flash hiders. They add some length but give you wrench flats or easy removal from the muzzle or the can.

Just use rockset and “glue” cb brake into can then you have a DT that you can take back apart if you soak it in water. Buy thread adapters to make barrels all the same prob 5/8-24”

Good ideas.

I think most guys find that once you start shooting suppressed....you dont go back the other way.

I dont see any advanatage to direct thread. Unless you live in a state or hunt in states where its illegal to hunt with a can. And thats getting to be few and far between.

I just don’twant to carry the extra weight, deal with the extra length, and care for another device while trying to get up a mountainside just to suprress the sound of a single shot in the windy wide open space.

For hunting in blinds in the lowlands, I absolutely agree that suppression is the way to go. That is the reason I went down the pth if acquiring suppressors.

Crush washer or not your brake will get stuck in your can and come off with the can if you don’t properly torque it to the muzzle and ideally use red loctite, rockset, or the high heat vibratight.

If you’re running brakes anyway you may as well use the TBAC brakes. They’re great effective brakes. Pick up a couple of the collars that protect the threads if you’re going to be using it much without the suppressor.

1) Carry the extra weight: You have a Ti can. It ain't heavy.

2) Deal with the length: Shorten your barrel.

3) Care for another device: TBAC is proven. You wont hurt it. Hunt it hard.
