Hey guys,
Question regarding this can.
I'm wishing I had bought a direct thread. I emailed Huxwrx about taking my QD break and thread lock this directly to the can, effectively turning it into a direct thread. Why would I want to do this? QD mounts are spendy and add up when I spread it out over all of my rifles. Also, it's can be a bear to remove from the course threads until it's really cooled off. Here is their response:
"The Flow suppressors are going to be QD only. The only rifle suppressor we offer right now that has direct thread capabilities is the Ventum series.
We would advise against thread locking the muzzle device to the suppressor as it can cause issues with suppressor alignment, functionality, and will disturb the cleaning and maintenance cycle of the suppressor.
You would be best to get a muzzle device for each rifle in the proper caliber and thread pitch that will allow you to use the QD system and move easily between rifles."
I'm not sure I agree with this logic. 1. The break doesn't need to be timed in a can, correct? And there are better breaks if I only want to run one 2. I'm just changing the order of which this goes on to the barrel, meaning, I'm screwing to the barrel instead of the QD mount. How does this affect alignment/functionality if the barrel thread or muzzle QD threads are gospel?
The only thing I can think of is maybe when it comes time to cleaning it it might be a PITA, which doesn't bother me. Or, the root of the response is to sell more QD attachments? What am I missing here?
