I seen a show the other day (tacTV I think) where a suppressor was used and it just attached over the muzzle break.
Who all makes a suppressor like that, and do you have to have a paticular brand/type muzzle break?
Almost everyone does. Pick your poison–they all have fans and detractors alike.
OK, well what would be say the top 5 company’s?
I’ve know of surefire and gemtech, I’m assuming they are pretty good to go.
I view Surefire as more G2G than Gemtech, but like I said, everyone has their kool-aid.
For a brake, AAC and Surefire are the 2 big ones. If you’re willing to spend $500 on a muzzle brake you can add KAC to that list.
Silencerco will be releasing a can compatible with AAC brakes
People like YHM due to their relatively low cost. They make muzzle brakes, but I’ve never heard anything about them.
Ops Inc makes muzzle brake compatible cans and is the can/brake combo for the MK12.
Gemtech makes QD cans, but I don’t think they make any muzzle brakes attachements.
The Battlecomp 2.0 is a brake designed for use with A2 compatible cans, so you could add the Gemtech HALO and SWR Specwar to that list as well.
Do those cans attach/go over any muzzle break/flash hider say like the YHM phantom or each to a specific type mb/fh?
Outside of the A2 compatible cans, they are only compatible with their companies respective QD mounts (whether they be FHs or MBs). IE: AAC cans work with AAC mounts, etc…
A gemtech is probably the most versatile as far as attachment goes. I think you’d have a hard time beating the AAC flash hider/suppressor combo.
Knight’s does sell a flash hider that works as a mount for their QDS-NT4 suppressor for 92 bucks. Don’t have to buy the 3T.

Yup. However, the Originally stated he was looking at QD Brakes, so I gave him an answer related to the question.
That said, his options open up significantly when factoring in FH options.
True. But by the way he worded the question it seems as though he is looking for a supressor to mount on a muzzle device. Not specifically a brake. Most just so happen to have brake mounts. But that’s just how I took it. Everyone has there own interrpritation. All the info he needs is in the thread.
There is a reason they don’t…
I have both AAC and YHM Cans. Although YHM cans are less expensive (and still work very well), they are much heavier. I would recommend the AAC.
If you don’t want to spend a lot of money on a mount, the Griffin Armament M4-SD suppressor attaches to the NATO STD A2 flash hider. That can may still be in pre-order phase, I’m not sure.
Mind elaborating why?
Contact Kel, he would be the best source to have your questions answered.
This isn’t totally true now that YHM has there TI cans. Their old cans were very heavy. But not so much anymore.
PWS makes a brake for the Gemtech bi lock’s. Gemtech has A2 style and Vortex style also for use on their G5 series.

Standard Bi-lock

I’m sorry, I did mean to say flash hider or fh/mb combo like the yhm phantom.
I am looking at the Suppressed Armament Systems T.O.M.B system

IIRC KAC doesn’t recommend the 3T for suppressor use, as they were concerned with bubbas shooting on FA and damaging the combo…
