I do have a set of those.

I was going to start a new thread but I'll post here and maybe do a new thread. My dilemma lately has been muzzle devices / flash hiders.
I have the Dead Air Key Mo Adapter $250 (aka hub) for my DA Nomad-L. To use it you need to mount $90 Key Mo flash hiders and muzzle brakes on your rifle.
If you want to run your suppressor on multiple rifles / AR15's - $90 flash hiders get expensive fast!!!
Why is that a dilemma? My Deer hunting AR is not set up with a Key Mo Flash hider and it cant use my suppressor. Every new AR I obtain (I have 6+), I have to mount more $90 flash hiders on them. That's annoying!
Basically Dead Air gets you on both the expense of the can and the accessories.
Turns out Griffin makes 2 adapters that fit on on Nato standard A1/A2 flash hiders that will work with my 30 cal DA Nomad can. For me that's revolutionary!
No more buying expensive $100 muzzle devices, shims to time them, plus the annoyance when you cant get the flash hider to time perfectly. I have multiple AR15's both rifles and pistols. Using these mounts, I can mount my suppressor on any of them.
A2 adapter for 1.375x24 suppressors
Griffin Armament is an industry leading manufacturer of suppressors, firearms, and parts for discriminating end userswww.griffinarmament.com
I saw the A2 adapter in person at a gun shop. It's a compression type fitting that while easily swapped among rifles, it is not a Quick Change.

Griffin Armament M4SD II - AN A2 KING
Thank you all so much for watching! We hope this gave you a little bit of insight into the M4SD II by Griffin! Let us know in the comments what you would lik...www.youtube.com
Both adapters will work with 223 & 30 cal rifles (with my 30 cal Nomad) w/ A2 Flash Hiders or Griffin's flash hider / muzzle brakes.
I'm pretty sure there is a weight savings as well, by going with the Griffin Adapters over the DA Keymo + Keymo Flash Hiders. I haven't done the math though.

Quoting myself, a not so positive update on the Gate Lock adapter.
I doesn't fit any of my 5 Palmetto State Armory A2 Flash Hiders.
It does fit on my 2 Remington owned Bushmaster A2 Flash Hider's and my Windham A2 Flash Hider. Both companies are out of business.

Of my 5 PSA uppers with A2 Flash Hiders:
2 FH's are too wide the GL adapter wont fit over it.
2 FH's the gate lock will fit over but not lock onto the rear most groove. Groove is too thick.
1 FH is pinned I believe the pin is preventing the gate lok from fully seating.
I also have 2 more uppers that are missing flash hiders altogether.
My goal with the Griffin Gate Lok adapter was not to have to buy $100 flash hiders. I don't think I can recommend this product.
That's disappointing, I was really starting to this was the answer to my question.
I'm direct thread on all dozen or so on mine.
Direct thread are cheaper, lighter and shorter. Pretty much everything I'm looking for.
If I only tighten them by hand.Any issues with un-threading while firing?
That’s where the ASR types shine….Any issues with un-threading while firing?
And there in lies the drawback of direct thread. Sure it shortest and lightest, but it’s also the least secure. Works well on hunting rifles, not so much on defensive or semi-autos that you want to shoot without worrying about the can coming loose constantly.Could you just put thread tape on the thread of the barrel? My can keeps moving every dozen or so shots

I'd say you've got some time to make decisions, but just saw a guy post a 5 day Form 4 approval, so maybe not! Lol.Just ordered the Accipiter and Five by Five. Now I really have to make a decision on the mounts.
Right now I'm torn between the Gyrex and the Rearden taper mount.
I'd say you've got some time to make decisions, but just saw a guy post a 5 day Form 4 approval, so maybe not! Lol.
The Rearden muzzle devices are a bit narrower and lighter if that matters, our Gyrex is a little quicker with much more substantial threads and taper, but the muzzle devices with a 1-1/8 width at the fat end of the taper do look a little out of place on skinny sporter barrels.
I'm trying to find time to get some helix port brakes done, but at the moment we're out of those in all sizes, only have single port in 1/2-28 .264 cal, and single port & mini brakes in 5/8-24 .30 cal and other thread & caliber combos.
Very neatI only have the one suppressor for centerfire weapons, and one for .22LR ones.
The .22 can is, of course, a threaded model, but I opted for a QD one for centerfires.
I got the Surefire SOCOM 762 mini2. It will fit on the ARs, the Ruger American, the Remington 700 Classic...

I actually think your Gyrex would be better for all of the guns I will be using these on, I just can't convince myself to put a muzzle brake on it in case I decide to shoot them unsuppressed, with the exceptionof the SBR's since they're under 12". That's really the only reason I am considering the Rearden since they offer flash hiders in addition to muzzle brakes.
I forgot to mention the other day, but if you do decide you want any of our mounts, adapters or muzzle devices, don't check out on the site. Message us letting us know what you want, as any single mount, adapter or adapter & muzzle device combo is discounted 40% with each can purchase.
I am over a year on a couple cans right nowWith the recent eForms predicament and work travel slowing everything down, I was able to certify today and get everything submitted.
Any takers on how long it'll take a trust with 2 RP's who both have DoD clearances to get approved?
