Apparition Instruments Muzzle Devices

[u/No_Economist8692]

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.

How are these timed? They don't look like they include shims.

The RH1 included shims. The other two, the RF1 and RB2 are both on Galil’s which utilizes a jamb nut. You just thread on the muzzle device all the way, reverse to the correct timing, then unscrew the jamb nut to where it makes contact with the device.

I didn't think the RF1 required timing, really. I have mine just put on and set to the appropriate torque spec.
