All custom silencers are assigned a caliber rating of .22LR. Since we are unfamiliar with the engineering specifics of your custom silencer, we cannot determine the types of stresses it can safely endure beyond those associated with .22LR. Please note that firing any caliber other than .22LR violates our terms of service and voids the warranty.

You can attach it directly to the barrel with a direct thread mount or to a quick detach muzzle device such as a muzzle brake, compensator or flash hider.

HUB is a industry standard thread pattern used for mounting devies. The thread pitch is 1.375x24TPI and can accept any mount in that spec regrdless of manufacture.

A QD (Quick Detach) mounting system enables the fast and convenient attachment or removal of your suppressor on various firearms equipped with a compatible QD mount. The adapter connects to the suppressor's rear threads and secures it to the specific muzzle device designed for that system, such as Dead Air Keymo adapters, which pair with Keymo-pattern muzzle devices. Read our article on Quick Detach systems Additionally we offer a mounting system called Duality compatible with all Plan B MD's.

A pistol booster system is engineered to ensure proper cycling of tilting barrel pistols (such as Glock, Sig, Walther, and M&P models) when a silencer is attached. It functions by using a spring to decouple the added weight and connects to the pistol's threaded barrel through a piston mechanism. Read our article on boosters

A muzzle brake minimizes recoil and muzzle rise by redirecting gases through large lateral ports, ensuring the muzzle stays flatter during firing. Compensators, on the other hand, are crafted to reduce muzzle rise specifically, enabling quicker follow-up shots. These devices employ a series of ports to channel and disperse muzzle gases, aiding the shooter in maintaining target alignment. Meanwhile, flash hiders focus on reducing the visible muzzle flash signature, crucial for low-light conditions. By utilizing prongs or ports, they break up unburnt powder and combustion gases, effectively diminishing the flash.

Absolutely! Numerous muzzle brakes are compatible with suppressor quick-detach systems, including options like SilencerCo ASR, Dead Air Keymo, Q Cherry Bomb, CAT Spooky, and more. Likewise, popular compensators such as the Dead Air Xeno and Q Cherry Bomb serve as excellent choices for suppressor mounting. Additionally, many flash hiders are designed to work seamlessly with quick-detach systems, such as SilencerCo ASR, Dead Air Keymo, HUXWRX QD, CAT Spooky, and others. Additionally we offer a mounting system called Duality compatible with all Plan B MD's.

Muzzle brakes frequently come with shims to assist with timing, ensuring the brake is mounted in the proper orientation. These shims enable precise alignment for optimal functionality and performance. Read our article on muzzle break timing.
