Suppressor mounting/direct threading question?

Are you asking if you should buy “special adapters” instead of just direct thread?

Example: Dead Air sells a Keymo adapter to “quickly” swap out cans between rifles, but each rifle has to have a special muzzle brake for that to happen.

I have a .30 caliber can that I just direct thread to each rifle I use it on. It is suggested you check your zero each time you move it from gun to gun.

If you have multiple rifles you shoot regularly and you want to spend the extra $$$, it’s probably easier going between them with the adapters.

If you just have a couple of rifles for hunting, I would stick with direct thread.

Some people trust some of the locking mechanisms of the quick detach over the direct thread. Especialy in high rate of fire where you’re not possibly checking the suppressor tightening as often.

Some of it is just ar Platforms typically having muzzle devices , other parts are so that I don’t have to keep up with thread protectors.

Imo I would trash the silencerco mount and go another route. I have Q stuff and like the weight savings from swapping to a planB mount and cherrybomb

I'll take a sacrificial muzzle brake or HUB mount with taper any day over direct thread. Muzzle diameter differences where the shoulders don't line up, can loosening while firing, and ability to swap between rifles easier/quicker. I use keymo for my Omega, YHM's system on my AR's, and will be swapping over to HUB once my TBAC is approved. Only thing I direct thread anymore is 9mm cans. Also if you purchase different brand cans in the future something like a HUB or Area 419 system you can swap between different brand cans with the same mounts on the gun. Something like a taper lock offers extremely reliable lock-up as well as repeatability.

Direct thread with taper is great. Cans dont loosen when firing if you torque them with a wrench for direct thread or if you hand tighten with a taper direct thread. I agree, Hub is great but I use direct thread hub mounts as well. It is simply the best solution for the majority of shooters unless, like I said, the mount changes performance characteristics.
