Suppressors | Tapered Mounting System

This episode of LongRange Pursuit podcast, featuring Mac Simpson from Gunwerks, delves into the practical effects of mounting a suppressor on a rifle. Key takeaways include the necessity of re-zeroing due to point of impact shift, the consistent return to zero with quality suppressors, a slight increase in bullet velocity, an improvement in rifle precision, and significant recoil reduction. The discussion highlights that while suppressors offer benefits, understanding their impact on rifle harmonics and ballistics is crucial for optimal performance.

This video reviews the Griffin Armament Optimus Micro Suppressor, highlighting its durability and versatility. The presenter, an experienced firearms instructor, emphasizes its robust 17-4 stainless steel construction and heat-treated baffles, making it capable of handling limited rounds of 5.56 NATO in addition to its primary .22LR and rimfire applications. The suppressor's removable baffle stack and taper mount system are key features discussed for ease of cleaning and enhanced performance with higher pressure rounds.

Sean Murphy, VP of Product Management at KGM Suppressors, discusses the company's product line, emphasizing accuracy, durability, and innovative design features. The conversation covers the R30 series, hard-use suppressors like the Rogue Alpha line, rimfire cans, and the importance of suppressors in tactical and home defense applications. Murphy highlights KGM's commitment to quality manufacturing and customer support, backed by extensive testing and military/LE feedback.

This review of the HUXWRX Flow 556 Ti suppressor highlights its lightweight titanium construction and innovative flow-through technology, which significantly reduces back pressure and bolt speed. The presenter, Eric, emphasizes its minimal impact on weapon system performance and shooter health, making it ideal for modern warfighters. While it commands a higher price point, its performance benefits, including reduced recoil and improved maneuverability, are deemed worth the investment. Maintenance recommendations are provided to ensure longevity.

Daniel Richardson of Richardson Precision & Training compares the Griffin Armament HRT-556 and Recce 5 suppressors. He highlights Griffin's EcoFlow technology for reducing back pressure and gas to the shooter's face, improving noise reduction. Richardson expresses a preference for the Dual Lock mounting system over the Taper Mount, citing its superior security against loosening from heat.

The Griffin Armament EXPLORR 300 Utility suppressor features a tubeless design constructed from 17-4 stainless steel, weighing 11.8 ounces and measuring 6.3 inches long. It utilizes Griffin's Echo Flow baffle technology to reduce back pressure and gas blowback. The utility version includes universal 1.375x24 threading for broad mount compatibility, while also offering an external flash hider and wrench flats for installation/removal.

This guide details the advanced technique for executing a long-range elk hunt, as demonstrated by a 12-year-old hunter under expert supervision. It emphasizes precise range estimation, scope adjustment using ballistic turrets, and marksmanship fundamentals for a successful shot at extreme distances (1376 yards). The process highlights the importance of preparation, practice, and specialized equipment for challenging hunting scenarios.

This expert guide from Gunwerks demonstrates the significant impact of the Coriolis effect on long-range bullet trajectory. Jeremy Winters, a Gunwerks Product Specialist, explains how Earth's rotation can shift Point of Impact (POI) by over 1 MOA at 1000 yards when shooting East or West. The video provides a live-fire demonstration and recommends shooting North or South to collect accurate ballistic data, minimizing Coriolis-induced errors.

This guide details the process of transforming a factory Remington Model 700 Sendero into a more capable long-range rifle, as demonstrated by Mike Davidson from Gunwerks. Key steps include a trigger upgrade to a 2-pound pull and a precision bedding job using Devcon Aluminum Putty to ensure action stability. The process emphasizes proper disassembly, careful application of bedding materials, and correct reassembly with specific torque values for action screws.

This video demonstrates a professional long-range coyote hunt in Montana, showcasing the effective use of a Gunwerks rifle. Dustin Butler, a representative for Gunwerks, highlights the 'range, dial, and kill' method for successful predator engagement at various distances, from close encounters to over 500 yards. The guide emphasizes proficiency with long-range optics and equipment for accurate shots in challenging terrain.
