Suppressor questions …thunder beast ultras

[BBob]

I'm already using several Area 419 Hellfire brake's so I was going to go to one of the suppressor manufacturers that can use an A 419 suppressor adapter that will mount to the Hellfire brake adapter I'm already using. That'll make the suppressor quick change between rifles. Any reason to not do that?

The Hellfire brakes never come loose and are really easy to take on and off by hand. They index on a taper so the mounting should stay pretty consistent and concentric.

I'm of the opposite opinion. Every direct thread can I've been around on a high powered rifle came loose frequently. All my stuff has a taper interface mount and never comes loose.

Were these big magnums?

Yes

Yes

Do you use the over the barrel reflex mount with them?

I use the area 419 suppressor system and it's been rock solid for ~500 rounds this year on various rifle platforms after I tightened everything (adapter and mount) really well with the supplied wrench.

I’ve been toying around with the idea of getting a suppressor. We have a .300 WM, .243, and few AR 15’s.

I knew it’s reccommended to get them more specific to the caliber. But instead of buying a bunch of suppressors I was wondering the possibility of just one that could work on all my rifles?

Any advice.

If you want to run an AR then you need the Dominus. The ultras aren’t made to run on gas guns but the Dominus is…I called TBAC when I bought mine and asked the exact same question.

Sort of, 300 WM and 7 RM

 

[Ucsdryder]

Interesting, with thousands of rounds I haven't had this issue.

Me neither. Never had one come loose

Before I got my 1st can I went and shot a few with guys that had em to see if I wanted to dive in. They had two different mfg direct thread cans that would come loose randomly, sometimes every shot, sometimes 1 in 10. It was enough to turn me off of direct thread.

When I called TBAC to order they specifically said to get a CB mount can and that direct thread would come loose and require a babysitter.

I have a 2" and 4" reflex.

I have a 4 stack and 8 stack. They sound better than my ultra 5 and Ultra 7 on their own IMO. With the reflex they are a little quiet but what I notice the most is recoil reduction with the reflex.

That said the TBs are freaking awesome suppressors as well.

It also makes shooting kids, friends & family way more relaxed and safe.

Wtf they even sell them if they know its a problem?
I just hate having another $450 in muzzle devices that are otherwise worthless without the can on.

I'll freaking strap wrench my DT if I have to.
I do think thr ultra should have a wrench flat.

They sell them because of demand. They simply tell users to keep em tight and enjoy.

Why not buy one Area 419 Hellfire brake (or Sidewinder brake) with additional adapters for the rifles you own? That way you can always quickly put a brake on a rifle you aren’t using the suppressor on and vice versa.

That's the same as my experience. I've ran umpteen thousand rounds through my SiCo, and no matter how tight i got the direct thread by hand, it would eventually work itself off. It was worst on an AR10, and it couldn't make it a full mag without backing itself off. I swapped to the ratcheting QD style and have never had an issue.

What max cartridge is that 4” rated for?

 

[IrkedCitizen]

I'm looking hard at buying a KGM Technologies suppressor. Might want to check them out too.

Isn't that still just spending a bunch money on adapters that can and probably will get discontinued?
I'm not really familiar with what you talking about.

I supposed. But that ticks me off.
I did my research on accuracy. I didn't have any idea they were build crud that falls off.
I have a direct thread ultra 7 in the safe. Never heard of it before.
Now it sounds like I went through all that for a boat anchor
