Elite Iron Alpha suppressor- Needs clarification on mounting

[bunker buster]

My Desert tech HTI 50 BMG muzzle brake has a thread .

According to Desert tech I can just mount the Elite Iron suppressor onto the muzzle brake.

When I ask Elite Iron they said I should remove the muzzle brake and mount directly onto the barrel.

So my question is: Who is right?

I also watch a video of Desert tech showing them mounting the Elite Iron Alpha on the muzzle brake.

From the Elite Iron webpage:

"The Alpha is a direct thread suppressor, except for the Armalite AR50 and Steyr HS50 use the factory brake collar to attach the ALPHA. "

Also from the Desert Tech's website regarding the muzzle brake:

"This brake enhances accuracy by providing uniform gas dispersion, harmonic stabilization, and minimal barrel whip. Suppressor thread pitch is 1 7/16 x 18"

It also says the barrel threads are M25 x 1.5

On the Elite Iron website they give numerous thread options in the drop down menu. None of those currently listed though match the 1 7/16 x18 listed on the muzzle brake specs.

That is assuming you are using this brake:

HTI QD Brake » .50 M25 x 1.5

DT HTI Rifle QD Brake 50 BMG M25X1.5.Designed with high-speed-video for superior recoil reduction. Enhances accuracy by provinding uniform gas dispersion.

Here is the Elite Iron page:

ALPHA .50 cal Suppressor - Elite Iron

Built for lightweight .50 caliber bolt action rifles (such as the Barrett 99, AI AX50, McMillan TAC-50, etc). The Alpha delivers rock solid performance in sound suppression.

Go to the drop down menus and see what they offer. (screen shot below)

This is the email I got from Desert tech:

"It threads directly onto the muzzle break"

Here's the Youtube video but its for the 375 Cheytac but the muzzle brake looks exactly the same as my 50 BMG.

Appreciate any real world experience user of HTI 50 BMG owner with Elite Iron Alpha suppressor who can chime in if it is muzzle brake mounted or direct barrel mounted (ie requires muzzle brake removal)

Measure your threads.

From what i have found out the .50 cal suppressor is a direct thread. Does not thread onto muzzle brake. But the 375 cheytac one threads onto the muzzle brake.

I've been wondering the same thing, did you ever get resolution here or take the dive?

I know it's been a long time but my Elite Iron Alpha 50 mounts directly to the barrel on the 50bmg and 416 Barrett.
My Elite Iron DT 408 mounts over the muzzle brakes. I just need to find out it the 416 and 50 have loctite or anything on them so I can remove them.
