Since this seems to be the temporary "Industry" page for AAC I've got a question regarding the 5.56 51T Blackout FH in M15X1. Why does that choice in the drop down menu state HK G36C only?
Will these mounts not work on 53's or 93's?
View Quote
They will. Theyre "deep socket" mounts so they fit back over the barrel a bit.

The flash hider in question will work on other 5.56mm H&K barrels with M15 x 1 threads. As you can see from the accompanying image, the socket is really short to accommodate the stubby threaded muzzle of the G36 C.

This kind of information would be really helpful to find on the AAC website somewhere....  I've *often* looked at various 51T mounts and wondered what the differences were - IIRC there's not much if anything about the 5/8-24 vs 5/8-24 "deep socket" for instance.  They're a bit spendy to just buy-and-hope-then-buy-another!

Are you wondering about the deep socket vs. standard flash hider, or muzzle brakes?

Below is a graphic that illustrates the difference between the standard 5/8-24 socket and the deep 5/8-24 socket on the 51T Blackout Flash Hiders. Standard socket will work with any barrel with the industry standard 5/8" length of thread. It is designed to index on the shoulder behind the threads. The deep socket flash hider will accommodate more than the industry standard 5/8" length of thread, but it requires a barrel with a diameter =/< .750 behind the threads. The deep socket is designed to index on the muzzle face, and provides a no-ring feature.



Let me know if there are any questions.

Great info Mike, and a heartfelt thanks!

My point really was that all I find on the AAC website is this:
There are two different options for 5/8-24, a deep and standard socket. Deep socket is for .75" barrels and smaller(profile behind the threads) and the standard socket fits all profiles.
View Quote
while what you posted above actually provides useful information!

Just reading the quoted text yields the conclusion that the standard socket is the best choice because it fits all profiles!  I would think that knowing which adapters index on the muzzle vs the shoulder would be pretty useful.  Maybe not on the front page if it scares off more casual users, but somewhere readily located would be good - and maybe I'm just too stupid to have found that place already

You are correct. The standard socket is completely non-barrel profile dependent, and should work with any barrel that has a .625" length of 5/8 x 24 thread.

If there is ever anything that is not made clear on the website, don't hesitate to reach out for clarification. Our list of things that we'd like/we need to do with the existing website is practically endless. If we can answer questions a bite at a time, that's what we're here for.

I'd really like to have a graphic like this with all flash hiders, showing a cutaway and barrel, with details on indexing surface.

I have 2 non usable 18t 762 SD's right now. Can't shoot them on anything even 300 BLK subs without it backing off the mount.
I would like to have them upgraded but but don't think it is fair for me to pay $500 to have it done.
The mount design is flawed.

I do have 15 AAC suppressors so I hope they will work with me on this problem.

FYI I have not contacted AAC as of yet so this is not a bash AAC post.

I think I will pull more money out of my pocket to repair/convert one can to 51t. The other I would be worried about the baffles coming out and it already has end cap strikes. I'm just going to shoot the crap out of it and keep sending it in for repair. It will only take about 20 rnds for suppressor to come loose enough for strikes to start happening. One full auto mag dump would definitely Obama it.
This may seem like I  am being an ass but I have +/- $950 with tax stamp invested in each of these cans already and I would like to use them.

They made my M41K better than new. They even included a 51T flashhider, after I was repeatedly told they would not. Couple hundred bucks to make a paperweight into a silencer again.

I just picked up a NOS Tirant9 from my dealer.
I am using the AAC Trilug adapter and I put it on my MP5K clone but, I am a bit worried. Once mounted the silencer has some wobble, like the spring in the adapter is not long enough to lock up tight. I have a AAC Blackout flashider trilug that locks up solid. Is this normal for the Tirant9 or does this need to be looked at?

can you tell me why my tirant 9 never shoots to point of aim?  3 lug or direct mount.  If i use omega 9k  same impact as with out suppressor;  when i put on tirant either type of mount at 15 yards  5 - 6 inches off!
I sent it back  last year no difference after it came back.  same thing on 3 different guns, mpx, mp5, 9mm ar carbine

thanks    for your response

Are the shifted groups that the Ti-Rant 9 is delivering comprised of round holes? Any evidence of baffle/end cap contact?

Yes round holes. Torrey at capitol armory could not see any baffel strikes.  One gun direct thread 2 are tri lugs.  Same 5 - 6 inch difference in  all 3 ???

My best suggestion would be to send it back to us again for a more in-depth evaluation. We can group it on some of the 9mm host carbines/subguns we have and see if we can get to the bottom of the issue. If we see the same POI shift, we can recore the can with a new interface and see if that does not fix the issue.
