Purchased it back in April of 2016. Picked it up last week and have purchased pretty much every accessory available for it. 13.5x1LH booster, 1/2x28 booster, 5/8x24 minimalist taper mount muzzle brake, 1/2x28 minimalist taper mount muzzle brake, thread protectors for both, minimalist blast shield + thread protector, tri-lug adapter + thread protector, A2 mount, 1/2x28 direct thread taper mount, 5/8x24 direct thread taper mount as well as a few other items I can't remember right now. Whew.
This is my sixth suppressor; my first "modular" one. I have a Gemtech Halo, a YHM Phantom 308, a TAC16, TAC65, AAC Evo-9 and now GA Optimus.
1 - Can I use the minimalist blast shield (and the longer blast shield) on a muzzle brake by itself, as a kind of "KX-3" type device to shield those who may be next to me from the muzzle brake effects? Or will this damage it?
2 - Do you sell the Booster device by itself? The part that the spring and booster go into with the holes in it? I have had a heck of a time removing the spring and piston from it only after hand-tightening it (not even using a tool - and everything is brand new - never even shot!). I can't imagine how difficult this will be to disassemble after I've shot with it. I'd prefer not to have to disassemble them all the time.
3 - Do you make a hex tool, but in metal? While the rubber one is nice, it slips way too often and doesn't get enough bite to let me take apart the Booster device. Ugh.
4 - When I use the A2 mount, it's a bit different from my Gemtech HALO. When I put the collar on, do I put the bottom of it over the barrel so it goes up against the bottom of the flash hider, or do I put it in one of the "slots" on the A2?
5 - Is there *any* chance the A2 mount will ever work with the PWS FSC556? The HALO works with it, so I mistakenly assumed the GA A2 mount would. It drops on about 1/2 inch and then gets too tight to push on.
