Quick Detach Dual Taper Locking System Explained

Most companies offer their own proprietary quick detack system for mounting your suppressor to your rifle, ours is called the Dual Taper Locking System™. When we say quick detach we are refering to the suppressor being able to quickly attach to a muzzle device that's attached to the rifle instead of directly threading it onto the rifle's threads. Quick detach systems are generally preffered for rifle suppressors because they allow you to quickly attach/remove your suppressor and they are more secure than direct threads. We offer Dual Taper Muzzle Brakes and Flash Hiders in multiple thread pitches to use your suppressor on as many rifle platforms as possible. This allows you to easily swap your multi-caliber suppressor to various rifles with ease.

• Creates a gas seal on the muzzle device's first taper to prevent carbon build up on the threads. This prevents your suppressor from becoming "carbon locked" and stuck on your rifle.
• Concentric lock up for repeatable return to zero with minimal point of impact shift. This allows you to attach/detach your suppressor without having to re-zero your rifle.
• Constant spring pressure compensates for thermal expansion. This allows your firearm to maintain it's accuracy and stay tight on the rifle through high rates of fire and multiple firing cycles.
• A friction lock type mount with no teeth to wear down over time. Like all of our products, our Dual Taper Locking System™ is built to last.
• No-Go/Go Gauge allows you to visually see that the suppressor is properly attached to the firearm for increased peace of mind.

The Dual Taper Locking System™ attaches in three simple steps. Below we go into detail of attaching one of our rifle suppressors and will show what is going on behind the scenes.

Make sure the locking collar is fully unlocked.

Twist the locking collar clockwise until it stops. This ensures that the spring arms won't prevent the suppressor from properly threading onto the muzzle device.

Thread the suppressor onto the Dual Taper Lock Muzzle Device (approx. 2.5 turns).

This creates a gas seal on the first taper of the muzzle device. The gas seal prevents carbon from building up on the threads and causing the suppressor to get stuck on the rifle (i.e. carbon locked). Aligning to the front taper also creates a consistent lockup to maintain the accuracy of your rifle and provide a repeatable return to zero when your suppressor is detached/attached.

Turn the locking collar approximately a half turn.

The locking collar compresses the spring arms onto the rear taper creating a friction lock. This keeps the suppressor seated onto the front taper, preventing suppressor "walk off". There are multiple benefits to using a friction lock including having a consistent, secure lock up during thermal expansion and not having teeth or ratchet system to wear down over time.

Our proprietary No Go/Go Guage provides a visual indicator so that there's no guessing whether or not your suppressor is properly attached. Using the bottom of the lock collar as a visual guide, you will be able to ensure that your suppressor is properly mounted to your host firearm. When properly installed, only "GO" and the line that is separating the "No Go" / "Go" are visible.

Most of our rifle suppressors come with our Dual Taper Locking System. If you're interested in using our QD system for another brand of suppressor, we offer our Rugged Universal Mount (R.U.M.) in Stainless Steel and Titanium. The R.U.M. converts nearly any HUB/universally threaded suppressor to be compatible with our Dual Taper Locking System. 

In order to take advantage of the Dual Taper Locking System, you'll need Dual Taper Muzzle Devices. These muzzle devices are the parts that thread onto your rifle making it compatible with our quick detack system. As mentioned earlier, we offer these muzzle devices in muzzle brakes and flash hiders. Both options are available in multiple thread pitches to be compatible with nearly every rifle on the market.
