Frequently Asked Questions

How do CMMG DEFCAN rifle suppressors attach?

CMMG DEFCAN rifle suppressors (5.56 and 7.62) attach via the SVD Zeroed Brake, which is included with the suppressor. This brake has A2 birdcage flash hider geometry. Proper alignment is crucial, and CMMG factory-equipped firearms are pre-aligned.

What is the installation process for CMMG DEFCAN 9mm and .45 ACP suppressors?

For 9mm and .45 ACP DEFCAN suppressors, you first install the included tri-lug adapter onto your barrel using thread locker and tightening to 20-25 ft-lbs. Then, ensure the suppressor's locking retainer is depressed, slide it onto the adapter, turn until lugs align, and press down until it clicks.

Can CMMG DEFCAN suppressors be used with other mounting systems?

Yes, all CMMG DEFCAN suppressors feature a standard Hub mounting system. This allows you to separate the suppressor from its included muzzle device and thread it directly onto other manufacturers' hub-compatible mounts and devices.

How do I ensure my suppressor is properly aligned to avoid damage?

Proper alignment is vital. For rifle suppressors, you can use an alignment rod or the 'borescope' method: look down the barrel with the suppressor attached. The view through the bore should be a full circle ('full moon'). Any crescent or oval shape indicates misalignment.
