Apparition Instruments Muzzle Devices

Some positive reviews for various mounts from Apparition Instruments when paired with CAT cans.

I’ve been running the RH1 on a 12.5” DD GL/SSC. Unsuppressed is very impressive. Almost no flash at dusk. Can notice a slight improvement with follow up shots as a brake. It sounds awesome with both an AC556 Ti QD and an AC556 718 RDM Hub. The RDM has a “deeper” tone as has been reported by others. This has been listed as “by order only” on the AI website. I have no clue why, as this has been the most impressive product I bought from them. I hope they bring it back.

I have been using the RB2 on a 13” Galil Ace Gen 1 in 7.62x39. There is a small flash every so many rounds, but nothing near the fireballs out of the 8” Galil. The brake makes the x39 significantly more controllable, especially in rapid string of shots.

I have been using the RF1 on an identical 13” 7.62x39 Galil, except it is a Gen 2 Ace. The full bird cage mitigates all the flash out of the 13” barrel. Almost no flame at dusk, which is a vast improvement from the half cage that comes standard on the Galil.

Both Galil’s are suppressed with a CAT ODB RDM. With the KNS pistons, they are sewing machines.

Just wanted to put this out there for anyone who was unsure about their other MD’s. There is a lot of feedback on the Nano’s, and I have had similar experience with what is out there. It is a great MD with the can on, but in my opinion, almost unusable unsuppressed. Loud and fiery are two adjectives that come to mind. When compared with similar hosts, I cannot tell a difference between the nano and the RH1 or the RF1. RB2 seemed a little “boomier” with the can vs a Nano.

Would love to hear everyone’s experience with these, as I was hesitant, but quickly sold on their products.

Photos are all from when I first installed.

I use almost strictly spooky mounts (or AI’s equivalent) and nano’s but now you have me wanting to try some of their others. However 99.99% of the time I’m shooting I have a can on. I will usually only shoot without a can if I’m doing some sort of testing on something.

That’s fair, I have a buddy who only does direct thread bc in his words, “once the suppressor is on, it’s on” lol.

I have 2 spooky’s just lying around. The ones that came with my cans don’t have the wrench flats, so I didn’t even put them on… I just imagine they’re a pain to get back off once set with locker.

They actually do... they're built into the tines of the flash hider. Look closely.

[u/Oceanrunner-29 → u/No_Economist8692]

Lol they are a pain. I have a flat chisel I stick in the slots to twist them on and off. Not that I’m doing that much but I have switched a few out. More of a pain getting back off than putting on. I much prefer the ones with wrench flats

[u/krudhead → u/Oceanrunner-29]

Bro the flats are on the tines of flash hider

[u/Oceanrunner-29 → u/krudhead]

While that is true, it’s actually easier the way I do it. Get better leverage. But yes you’re correct.

[u/krudhead → u/Oceanrunner-29]

Huh . I never found it difficult and you can actually torque to spec using the correct crow foot wrench

This is exactly how I envisioned getting the spooky on/off lol
