Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What is the purpose of the screws that come with the QD muzzle brake?

The screws are used for fine adjustment of horizontal barrel movement. For right-handed shooters, the compensation ports on the right side of the muzzle brake should be closed to help keep the rifle better on target. For left-handed shooters, the ports on the left side of the muzzle brake should be closed.

Does the QD muzzle device thread need a protection cap?

No. The muzzle devices are made from carbon steel and those are nitrided. The threads are very strong and you cannot really break them in normal or abnormal use.

Can I use crush washers to install muzzle device?

NO!!!! Crush washers do not crush evenly and crush washer are the most common reason for baffle strikes and bad accuracy with suppressor. A1 flash hider and 5-prong flash hiders do not need indexing. A2 flash hider and Muzzle brake are delivered with shim kit. Use the shims to index the muzzle device to correct position.

Do I need thread locker for muzzle device?

In order to ensure that the muzzle device stays tightly on the barrel, we recommend using a thread locker. Blue Loctite, Rockset, or something similar would be suitable for this purpose. It is recommended to torque the muzzle device to a value between 20-50 Nm. This will help to keep the muzzle device securely in place during use.

Can I use ultrasonic cleaner to clean suppressor?

Yes and no. Using an ultrasonic cleaner on cerakote and anodized surfaces might cause damage. We recommend disassembling the suppressor and only using the ultrasonic cleaner for the stainless steel Flow Suppression Module. Additionally, make sure the cerakoted front cap is not under the liquid. It is also important to note that the ultrasonic cleaner should not be used to clean aluminum parts. Please take these precautions when using an ultrasonic cleaner on suppressors.

How do I know is my suppressor Gen 2 or Gen 3?

One way to determine if your suppressor is Gen 2 or Gen 3 is to check for a marking at the muzzle of the suppressor. If it is a Gen 3 suppressor, it should have a Gen 3 engraving. Additionally, a Gen 3 suppressor has an easily recognizable internal flash hider at the muzzle of the suppressor.

Can I upgrade my suppressor to Gen 3?

Both Gen 1 and Gen 2 suppressors can be updated to the latest version. Gen 3 Flow Suppression Modules can be purchased separately. This will allow you to upgrade your suppressor to the most up-to-date technology.

My suppressor is totally blocked and I cannot clean it so that the flow-through would work.
