I was wondering if anyone has any input on suppressor backoff. Would you says it's an on going issue and if a product was developed to solve it, would it be something you would pay for?
 
I have 3 YHM cans (5.56) using the Phantom QD mount and I’ve never had any of them back off/shoot loose.

Just picked up a YHM Phantom 22 and a DA Mask. Both d/t and they didn’t shoot loose, either. Had some yellow teflon tape with me, but ended up not having to use it.
 
Well I know direct thread thread is a main culprit of back off. And also cant the different qd adapters only work with certain brands of suppressors? Causing you to buy multiples of expensive adapters to run your favourite different cans. What I had in mind would be almost universal.

Does back off not exist for the qd adapters?

If you properly install each piece, it shouldn’t be an issue with a QD setup.

If you take the proper precautions, it shouldn’t be an issue with direct thread.

Rimfire and pistol cans are fairly universal. Centerfire rifle cans are where the QD systems come in, and a majority of them have gone to a HUB system with the Omega thread pitch…so mixing brands isn’t an issue.

You seem to have little experience with cans, and for some reason are trying to fix a problem that most people don’t have.

Are you in the industry? Or trying to get into it? What’s your end-game with these questions?

Most people will not hot swap QD adapters on the suppressor bodies, and will use Rockset compound to ensure they don't back off. The idea is to buy muzzle devices for each gun and use a single ecosystem/mfg for that. Griffin, for example, makes devices that will work with both the common suppressor body thread pitch as well as some of the oddball ones.

Ain't nuthin some electrical tape and a hose clamp can't fix.

Just remember to use a torque wrench. This ain't amateur hour ya know.

I’m familiar with Acme threads, what’s Omega thread?

SilencerCo Omega is a specific can whose thread pattern has become a standard.

Yep and you can find many systems that run the hub system.

Direct thread is old school.
It's lighter to use Area 419 mounts in many cases.

Yes def a good option. I have heard, in a worst case scenario, the unintentional dismount rarely goes outta sight tho.

Painting the whole thing orange is usually the best bet. Or at least the pesky baffles if the aesthetics aren't to ones liking.

Do you mind elaborating on safety wire and the paint to me? I can't understand the application
 
Best way is to have your barrel left hand threaded if using normal rifling right hand twist.
The threading will offset everything and keep it tight.
 
My worst culprit is my direct thread pistol can on my Glock factory barrel threaded in 13.5x1LH. Some high temp Teflon tape (dark grey) solves that problem
