Hey folks,
I just got a Savage Axis II PRECISION rifle in 6.5 Creed. I have a YHM Resonator K that I would like to use on it. Should I convert it to direct thread or use the QD attachment it came with? Does using the QD attachment affect accuracy when the can is not attached? I already know the POI will shift when it is not on due to weight, just not sure if the flash hider will change anything. I have a 700 SPS tactical that I use an AAC 51t mount on the end but did not notice a change after installation, but I only shoot this gun out to 250-300 max. Thanks! |

Unless you are swapping the suppressor around alot on different guns I am a fan of direct thread. Less weight, a little less length.

Thanks all, I will order a direct thread attachment.

Always direct thread. That QD stuff is a gimmick. Numerous people have shot their suppressor off their rifle due to improper "QD" attachment mistakes.

I have mostly DT for the majority of my suppressors, but I prefer the TOMB mount of SAS or TBAC. The tomb mount is rock solid and doesn’t loosen over various heat cycles and movement from my experience. In a match setting, of shooting 10+ shots and then walking 300+yds, I’ve noticed that the DT suppressors can loosen just a bit, which impacts POI if not checked/secured. It’s no issue if you check, but the tomb mount seems to eliminate any loosening.
Not sure if the QD functions as well as the tomb mounts, but if not, DT would be the way to go for your particular can. |

I have had zero issues with my Dead Air keymount. A good taper mount like the Dead Air or TBAC...is a non issue.

No issue with ASR here. For a dedicated use, it offers no advantage over DT.
It is repeatable though, and of course the brake will in theory prolong the service life of the can. |

Thunderbeast is the gold standard for precision suppressors.
Their brake attach is not a QD, but it gives the can more surface area to mate up against. Their SR brake attach is bullet proof and yet still repeatable and solid. |

Just depends on the can/mount. My TiTan QD is just as accurate as any direct thread can I've used.

Their SR brake attach is bullet proof and yet still repeatable and solid. First, I believe TBAC makes a fine suppressor and DT setup. That said, if surface area mate-up is your "gold standard", Ron Allen's AE series of reflex style suppressors would surpass TBAC in that area as they contact at the break and on the shoulder collar at 2 points while also mitigating the forward center of gravity shift by bringing the can back over the host barrel approx. 4-6"s. I've got several (legacy) OPS Inc and AE cans and they are without a doubt the best cans I have ever used. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Chaingunzz: if surface area mate-up is your "gold standard" Not at all. Their brake attach method increases the surface area that the suppressor grips keeping it tighter longer. When I say gold standard, their cans maintain a rifles accuracy and are incredibly quiet and light. Look at people at the top of a competitive shooting match results list. If they are using a can, chances are pretty good it is a Thunderbeast. |

There is no doubt that TBAC has a reputation for the being the best suppressor available for a precision rifle. Over 40% of PRS shooters that use suppressors all choose TBAC.
However, TBAC clearly states that their CB brake mounted suppressor is just as accurate and repeatable as their direct thread model. “The CB mount and direct thread mount have equivalent accuracy and repeatability.” |

I have a TBAC QD suppressor and mount on several rifles. If I had to do it over again I'd likely go DT. The suppressor gets hotter faster than any can I've used. Its light weight and titanium are totally different than the heavy steel cans I've used. Once its hot, it can be very difficult to get off the brake. Like 20-25 rounds worth. I have take to putting a little breakfree on the taper and that helps.
I typically take 3-4 rifles to the range and shoot 20-30 rounds each. My present view is DT is better for this. If you want to run a brake aside from the can, the TBAC system is great. |

I run a Surefire SOCOM SPS on my 6.5cm. No issues once zero was verified.

I have no idea however I have a dead air sandman S in jail so I put a muzzle break on everything I want to use the can on. Couple months and I’ll order another can probably something lite and direct thread for my 6.5 creedmoor

My vote is a taper mount brake. Sometimes it really helps to be able to shorten the rifle those few inches. Although to be honest I have a grand total of one (1) unsuppressed shot fired through my precision setups.
