6/11/2023 0 Comments Dead air keymo vs plan b by q![]() Now let’s look at a runner-up standard, which is actually 2 standards that can be problematic. We make booster assemblies in quite a few configurations to update/upgrade older and proprietary cans to use BPISTIN pattern pistons and Alpha pattern mounts & adapters, including the AAC TiRants & Evos, SWR pistol cans, Gemtech stuff and many others. Griffin uses a slightly different pattern in their cans, but supports BPISTIN with the Cam Lok and EZ Lok pistons. ![]() 993” diameter by ~.125” thick flange that are used by SilencerCo, Rugged, ECCO Machine, Dead Air (Odessa model), YHM (modern booster housings), Thunderbeast Arms, Kaw Valley Precision, OSS and possibly others. 75” body diameter pistons with a 10-tooth. BPISTIN is actually a term I’m pushing to make common, many are still referring to it as SilencerCo/Rugged pattern, but there are several other companies which have adapted it now, so it needs a proper name. There are other taper and QD adapters in this size, as well as many different direct thread mounts.īPISTIN booster piston pattern. There are numerous 3 lug mounts in this pattern, although only the Kaw Valley Precision and SilencerCo ones are self-contained, the others require a booster housing with proper internal dimensions. A much smaller thread size, it is obviously better suited to smaller diameter suppressors, and is typically the thread found in booster assemblies on pistol cans like the SilencerCo Octanes and Omegas, Rugged Obsidian, Griffin stuff and Our ECCO Machine Phoenix series. Though not quite as standardized as Bravo pattern, it is used in many pistol suppressors and a couple of rifle cans, namely the legacy SilencerCo Harvester and our ECCO Machine Furtivus slimline model. That’s just one example, but it’s modularity, it’s flexibility, allows us to change mounts & adapters at will to standardize across the collection and/or tailor to the specific host’s needs.ġ.125-28 Alpha pattern, sometimes only referred to only by the nominal thread size. Or you can take that adapter out and put a direct thread mount in for your hunting rifle with oddball muzzle threads or that you just don’t want the added weight of a QD system on. This means you can buy a SilencerCo or YHM suppressor and run it on your Dead Air Keymo muzzle devices by installing the Keymo adapter. This pattern has been adopted by more manufacturers than not at this point, offering suppressors with those threads, mounts & adapters with them, or (usually) both. This is also sometimes called “Omega 300”, “Hybrid” or (incorrectly) “ASR” by the form 1 crowd. I’ll get into other patterns that are shared by more than one manufacturer and detail the still-proprietary stuff later, but those patterns are:ġ.375-24 Bravo (HUB). For any of our gripes with the company, and some have quite a few, they did pioneer 3 patterns that have become pretty standard, one of them very much so. ![]() Booster pistons for pistol cans were the same story.Įnter the SilencerCo era. At best, the latter led to being kinda pigeon-holed into that one brand if you wanted to move suppressors from host to host, but oftentimes the models would be discontinued & unsupported by the OEM, or the company would go belly up, and getting new muzzle devices was a custom part proposition, which is typically pretty expensive. I wanted to put something together to help guide people through the vast array of suppressor mounting systems and thread patterns, clear up some confusion and mitigate the analysis paralysis a bit.įor a long, long time, we basically had either direct thread cans, or suppressors which used the manufacturer’s proprietary taper mount or QD system, none of which were cross compatible.
