Are YHM Turbo's only quick disconnect?

Anyone have a direct thread? I know the K version has a DT.
Turbo is QD only, like the Resonator. Turbo K has both (QD & DT) adapters like the Nitro.
 
FWIW you could simply red-loctite the QD device into the body of the Turbo effectively making it direct thread.
That's a thought. I guess the muzzle break and quick disconnect don't weigh a lot. I do prefer the longer length of the Turbo model.

For that matter, you could have a machinist chop most of the MB/FH off. YHM is no longer using the far end of the mount as an alignment point. Save a little of the weight.

I'm not familiar with YHM. Would one of them be better to chop than the other?

Would the MB be better because of any protection it would offer the silencer as like a blast baffle?

If you’re chopping it, it won’t matter...as you’d lose the brake chambers or the flash hider tines.
 
That makes sense, should've thought of that. Thanks!
That being said, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go with the brake and leave the first chamber as a sacrificial baffle if you were going to modify one.

And if you’re making it a dedicated DT can by semi-perm attaching it to the muzzle device, you won’t have to worry about timing the brake (or how obnoxious it would be unsuppressed).

That's what I'd probably do. Although, with all this extra work it may just be easier to get the Turbo K.

Literally snug it on a barrel (maybe 10-15 ftlbs), give it a thin coat of red loctite, attach suppressor, wait 24hrs and remove. Boom. I wouldn't bother with cutting/trimming/chopping anything off of the muzzle device.

Done what?

There’s almost always a POI shift with a can. Adding that weight to a barrel plays with the harmonics, plus the effects of the silencer itself.

Often repeatable, so you just need to know what it does to your specific setup.
 
Loctite the QD mount to the can and use it as direct thread.
Gotcha. I scrolled back just enough to see you hadn’t posted earlier, and missed that question.

I haven’t done it, and can’t really think of a situation where I would...unless it was a recessed setup and a different brand of silencer where you needed to access the rear cap to lock/unlock.
 
I’m just trying to avoid the additional $85 QD mount but maybe I should just buy it.
So you have two hosts, with the same thread pitch, and wanted to share a single QD mount?

I guess it could work. But I have YHM QD mounts on almost every AR I own.
 
The mounts can be had much cheaper if you shop around or buy used. I'd bet you'd spend more at the machinist and on loctite than the total cost of another muzzle device. Or just remove the 1 muzzle device to move between hosts with the can.
