My main concern with direct thread is thread loosening after long shootouts and thread damage to the barrel of my Galil over time I'm running the CGS Helios as a dedicated can on my IWI Galil 556 removing the flexibility advantage of QD DA Keymo/micro adapters, would you guys recommend direct treading my Galil or still going with the adapter (cost not an issue)? Your silencer is now compatible with the Dead Air Key Brake and Flash Hider – giving you the best mounting system in the industry.Hey you fine folks at r/NFA, I'm hoping someone who has experience with KeyMicro or Keymo adapers from DA and CGS Helios can help me answer some questions. Simply unscrew your existing mount, and thread the Key-Mo on. We’ve developed the Key-Mo™ to give your SilencerCo Omega and Saker a much-needed upgrade. If you’re one of the many owners of a SilencerCo® Saker or Omega and have ever longed for a simpler and more reliable mount, your salvation is here.
KEYMO MICRO UPGRADE
Want an upgrade for your Omega or Saker? Dead Air has you covered. It features a true one-handed operation for adding or removing the silencer, locks up tightly, releases easily and is dependable and reliable. Simply put, the KYMO is the rifle silencer mounting system that should have shipped with the original SilencerCo Sakers. As expected, the Saker slipped on and off without issue. I specifically requested a suppressor-ready version of the CZ Firearms bolt action rifle to test the KYMO on an atypical platform. As a result, I picked up a flash hider that didn’t require the use of shims for timing.Ī couple rotations of the Saker and the KYMO releases from the flash hider or brake. The barrel profile on my PTR Industries K3P did not allow for the use of the 5/8 x 24sized shims. Warming up the silencer (usually by shooting through it) will expand the mount enough to loosen it up. Over the course of two months, I used my new Saker/KYMO setup on a variety of hosts, all of which functioned perfectly.Ī quick note about most quick disconnect silencer mounts – trying to remove a silencer that has cooled on a mount can be difficult due to material expansion and contraction. Rotating Saker/KYMO combination against the muzzle device, you can feel the difference in lug/notch sizes, until the whole unit drops into place.Īlternatively, if you timed your flash hider or brake properly, the notch visible on the ring of the KYMO will index at the 12 o’clock position. The three internal lugs in the mount and the three notches on the muzzle device indexes into a single position. Weight: 4.5 oz – Omega Mount 4.6 oz – Saker Mountīesides being less intricate and more reliable, the KYMO mount differs from the Trifecta in that it only installs one way.If you are completely green to the basics of gunsmithing or are unsure at any point during the process, stop and contact a gunsmith or drop the guys at Dead Air a line for advice.
There is no need for excessive force, just tighten until the two mating surfaces contact each other.
KEYMO MICRO INSTALL
Repeat the process in reverse to install the KYMO mount. After removal, inspect and clean the Saker’s threads. Use the two wrenches that came with your Saker and align them so that squeezing them together rotates the original MAAD system counter clockwise.
Installing the KYMO mount itself is also a simple task. The internal lugs of the KYMO mount that mate up with the muzzle device. Semi-permanent installations should get a high-heat thread locker such as Rocksett. Using a torque wrench is advised, but those with a few muzzle device installations under their belt will be able to tighten by feel. This will help with attaching the silencer without having to feel for the correct notch locations. Usually I don’t feel the need to time/index flash hiders, however the KYMO mount is notched so that if the brake or flash hider is installed correctly, the notch/mount point will be in the 12 o’clock position.
Brakes should be “timed” – the ending rotation after torquing indexes the circular gas ports upwards. Once you spin off the muzzle device, clean the threads and inspect the barrel shoulder for any glaring issues.Įach muzzle device comes with a set of shims of different thicknesses.
KEYMO MICRO FREE
I recommend using a receiver block or better yet a reaction rod that fits into the locking lugs of an AR15 barrel extension to safely get enough torque to break your brake free (like that?). For most of us with barrels threaded to a standard 1/2 x 28 or 5/8 x 24 thread pitch, the original muzzle device is removed using an AR15 armorers wrench or the SilencerCo tool that came with your silencer by turning it counterclockwise. KYMO Installation:įirst, replacing the flash hider or muzzle brake. The indexing notch on the KYMO mount ring will index at the 12 o’clock position if the muzzle device is properly timed.
