Where can the SWR LCD device for an SWR Trident be found since SWR no longer exists?
Thanks for any help. |

For a while Stalking Rhino Industries was making legacy Trident parts. The last run was done back in January but they may still have some left over.
I believe they will do another run in the future but I would reach out to them to confirm The other option, is I have heard/read reports that the Liberty Mystic has a very similar thread pattern to the Trident and that Mystic LIDs/fixed/& 3 lug mounts will attach to the Trident. Obviously that is a void warranty maneuver with Liberty and I don't know if Silencerco still warranties Trident-9s anyway. I have been tempted to purchase a Mystic 3 lug as my Trident 3 Lug has never been all that great (loose tolerances) and allows the can to wobble quite a bit in comparison to more modern three lug adapters I have from AAC. Maybe somebody else can confirm if Mystic mounts fit the trident thread pattern. Outside of those two option, you could always post a WTB add on Subguns/Sturm/EE with a pricetag that somebody out there can't refuse. I know I have not used my Trident-9 LID for years as my trident is basically relagated to subgun use and assume somebody out there if offered the right price would let their LID go. |

I have not tried shooting the Trident with Mystic mounts though, as I have all of the mounts I currently need for that can. I'll have to try screwing a Mystic LCD on the Trident and let you know what the fit up is like. I'm thinking it should be good, though. |

Houston, we have a problem.
The Mystic has a relatively deep blast chamber, and the booster takes up a good portion of this space. The Trident has a shorter blast chamber, so the booster sticks farther out the back end of the can. What this means is a Trident booster will fit just fine on the Mystic, but the mystic booster will hit the blast baffle before the threads ever get a chance to engage the threads in the can. See below.

FWIW...guy I occasionally shoot with here had his Trident recored to Octane baffles by Silencerco in the last couple months, at no charge. Uses all those mounts now. Interesting. Did your friend mention if he thought it sounded any different / better? Can it now be user disassembled? Meaning it uses Octane mounts now? I don't think I'd want to replace all 4 or 5 of my Trident mounts. I wonder if they'd switch to Octane baffles, but leave it so it still uses the Trident mounts? |

I never heard it before it was converted, but he shot it with me Thursday on his Scorpion. Sounded real good...like my Octane.
Yes, it now uses all the Octane mounts and is user-serviceable. Not sure if they'd do the half conversion, but my friend sold all his Trident parts for more than it cost to replace them with Octane parts. SiCo swapped out the piston he had installed, and also sent him one additional (IIRC). I don't think they swapped anything else for him. He contacted them (at my suggestion) to simply ask about returning it for a cleaning, and they offered to do the conversion. He asked how much, and the answer was $0. |

I speak to Stalking Rhino on the reg, to include today. He has extra SWR LCD in stock ready to ship. Give a call or email to order. Also, they plan on supporting legacy SWR products in the foreseeable future. I will be calling them tomorrow in the am!!! THANK YOU!

Called Stalking Rhino a few times no answer so I left a message. I hope to hear back from them.
SilencerCo won't do the retro-fit of an SWR Trident to Octane Specs unless there is a baffle strike or internal damage to the Trident. But they do still warranty the SWR Trident so that is Awesome if that ever happens. |

He called to inquire about a cleaning under warranty, and they said no charge. When he sent it in, they offered to upgrade it, at no charge. No baffle strike or damage, just lead/carbon/whatever buildup. |

They told me in the response email back to me to just let the suppressor soak in mineral spirits for 24 hours so guess I am out of luck lol Still NO Response from Stalking Rhino also about the LCD device |

$250 for the LCD Device......... WOW!
