Obviously I don't have a sound meter, and pretty much the video is your basic run down overview/demo, but I am rather intrigued by the use of Metal 3D printing in the silencer market. I wasn't given a price on the White-paper, but I was fully expecting $1800+ (SShop has them for $1400).

Can this be mounted on 5/8x24 or 1/2x28 barrels?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Can this be mounted on 5/8x24 or 1/2x28 barrels? ETA - Correction, all in stock Silencer Shop Hekates are 3/4x24. Silencer Shop had been advertising the incorrect thread type and they’re contracting people to let them know. |

The white paper claimed 5/8-24 threads would be available.

I would imagine a .338 suppressor with 1/2-28 threads would be a slow seller.

This looks like another great offering by CGS. Fortunately I don't have to fork out the money to buy one, since I don't have a BA rifle chambered in $5 bills. I wonder if CGS will get a military contract for these.

The TBAC 338 Ultra is more quiet than the Gen 1 Ultra 9 due to the size, and they have muzzle devices in .5x28 and 5/8x34 so that you can use the same can on multiple LR hosts. |

CNC Warrior might make a thread adapter for 1/2x28 to 3/4x24, but for 1/2x28 that'd be an unrealistic use so we probably wouldn't make that ourselves. 5/8x24 to 3/4x24 is more reasonable. There is no standardization from a major firearm manufacturer like SIG for a taper shoulder for 338 host barrel so all Hekates at this time are 90 deg normal shoulders. |

I cant wait to see the Helios Titanium release this year too. You guys have been busy! |

If I could thread a Key-Mo adapter into the rear of this I'd have already purchased.

Quote HistoryQuoted: If I could thread a Key-Mo adapter into the rear of this I'd have already purchased. If the Key-Mo adapter was strong enough to be used on large magnum rifle cartridges, that would work. I'm not sure it is. Todd might be able to give information about that. I don't think it can be used on 300 RUM, so I think maybe if you try some other magnum cartridges, especially when barrel length isn't super long, the mount tabs will yield. That would be one potential failure mechanism. Again, I think the designer probably knows best. I think direct thread or taper-thread adapter is much smarter for large magnum rounds, unless you have a very strong latch retention system like the Rugged mount, etc. I think I'm becoming more of a direct-thread fan every day. Imagine if all barrels were tapered and all silencers took advantage. One can dream.... Jay PEW Science |

So threads in front of the taper can work? Who knew?

Quote HistoryQuoted: If I could thread a Key-Mo adapter into the rear of this I'd have already purchased. This is a 338 silencer. And the people it was built for didn't want QD anyway, so it's not QD. Quoted: So threads in front of the taper can work? Who knew? A lot of people knew in 1909.
