![]() With a HUB 1.374×24, you'll never have that problem, even if the silencer company goes out of business the day after you buy a can. Unfortunately, neither the mount nor the silencers were entirely backward-compatible they aspired to make it work, but it was impossible with the new locking mechanism. Years back when Surefire released their SOCOM-series of suppressors they rolled out an improved mounting system. The current practice used by companies like Dead Air and Griffin Armament is to include a pair of wrenches to ensure everything stays in place, but we've still inadvertently rotated HUB 1.375×24 TPI silencers off of adapters regardless of what wrenches were used. The internal adapters are more tricky because if you want to keep the modular aspect of your silencer, thread locker is going to make it all the more difficult. The muzzle device is the easiest fix here, as all you have to do is use a little Rocksett during installation. This means when you're removing your silencer you can potentially rotate off your muzzle device, rotate the adapter out of the silencer, or remove the silencer as intended. As of right now, unless you're using an Area 419 adapter, everything is threaded right-hand. It's far too late in the game to make the change now, but we absolutely wish that SilencerCo changed the wheel a bit more and instead threaded this new module for a 1.375×24 *lefthand*. The HUB 1.375×24 pitch is a standard used for bicycle hubs and locks, so the wheel wasn't reinvented, but instead repurposed. There are more than a dozen companies making devices, adapters, boosters, and more for this pattern. People screaming for an easier-to-use mount helped kick the can along further. ![]() It has since been dubbed the HUB: Hybrid Universal Base. The Gemtech Multi-mount and ONE has a similar system, as does Liberty Suppressors with the Mystic and virtually any new release moving forward.Ī combination of the sheer numbers of SilencerCo mounts in existence along with the larger diameter of 1.375-mount silencers which makes it easier for mounts to fit ensured SilencerCo would be the winner. And SilencerCo wasn't the only one working towards a modular back-end. Though they probably didn't realize it at the time, when SilencerCo released the Hybrid line with a 1.375×24 internal thread, they would be making the universal standard what would relegate proprietary muzzle devices as a thing of the past. ![]()
