![]() ![]() But i'm moving into Form-1 cans, and want to retain cross-platform flexibility. ![]() I currently use the AAC 51T mounting system across platforms for my single can (SD-N-6). Be safe, have fun, and we’ll see you back here next weekend for TFB’s Silencer Saturday.What is the "best" QD mounting system and why? I intentionally am leaving the question vague because everyone has different considerations for best. However, it may help you make better decisions when you buy your next suppressor, or save you money by preventing you from buying a complete set of mounts and muzzle devices that don’t work with your suppressor. I probably took a very simple topic and gave you an overly complex explanation of things you will never need to know. I’d draw you a diagram of something going into something else, but I don’t want to make anyone blush. And the threads on the silencer tube are female and the threads on the mounting system are male. It is a standard right hand twist (righty tighty, lefty loosey for those of you who may be slightly less handy around the house). If the threaded portion of the mounting system was exactly one inch, there would be 24 threads total. Source: WikiCommons 24 – Threads Per Inch Below the AB Raptor is using the Dead Air Xeno system. Not surprisingly, some of those companies have major government contracts and a design change would be detrimental to the product line.Įven the AB Suppressors Raptor – a reflex design – now feature 1.375 x 24 universal mount adapters. Some companies are very attached (see that?) to their QD systems and suppressors and are not ready to alter their designs to accommodate outside attachments. Griffin Armament was also a front runner in the universal mounting system adoption and now has a compatible DUAL-LOK QD system as well.Īlmost every manufacturer now offers universal mount compatibility for some of their suppressors. Dead Air brought their very popular KeyMo QD system from their Sandman suppressor to 1.375 x 24 mount suppressors and the race to win the universal system battle was on. An Unofficial History of the 1.375 x 24 Universal MountĪs far as I can tell, SilencerCo was the original innovator of the 1.375 (1 3/8) x 24 adapter system on the Omega 300 suppressor which is now referred to as the Bravo System that includes direct thread mounts, QD systems like the ASR, as well as piston systems for titling-barrel pistol hosts.īecause the diameter of the mount (we’ll get to that in a second) is in the sweet spot for internal volume of the suppressor, increased hoop strength, and weight/material balance, other manufacturers took notice and used the opportunity to use the same threads specifications to capitalize on consumers loyalty to mounting systems. Allows owners of muzzle devices from different manufacturers to use your suppressors.Īnd that is pretty powerful, especially when you consider the price of three muzzle devices from some companies can add up to the price of a new suppressor.Ībove (L to R) The YHM Turbo K, 1/2 x 28 direct thread adapter, the Dead Air KeyMo system and flash hider, the Dead Air Xeno system and brake, and the Q Cherry Bomb adapter and compensator.Allows owners of suppressors from different manufacturers to use your muzzle devices.But the evolution towards a universal mount system does two thing for manufacturers: It would have been easy to stick with a working product and hope that customers would change out all their other mounts for YHM muzzle attachments. The YHM QD system is a relative veteran in the mount game and it performs very well as a one-handed quick attach/detach system that includes both flash hiders and muzzle brakes. But the one thing that YHM did with the Turbo K, R9, and Resonator lines that pushed me over the edge was the inclusion of the 1.375 x 24 (1 3/8 x 24) universal mount. And I am not just saying this because YHM sponsors our Silencer Saturday series – many of our readers have reported similar results. SILENCER SATURDAY#253: The 1.375 x 24 Universal Mount EXPLAINEDĪbove (L to R): The SilencerCo Harvester EVO, The LMT AT ION 30, the PWS BDE, and the YHM Turbo K, all of which have universal mounting threads.Ĭase in point, one of my favorite 5.56mm suppressors is the YHM Turbo K because it is short, light, inexpensive AND it sounds great for its size.
