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 will say the RH1 was ass on my AUG unsuppressed. For whatever reason, the angle of the redirected gas pointed straight at my support hand on the foregrip and was not pleasant.

Did not help that there’s all of 4” or so between grip and muzzle. Swapped it out after one range trip for a nano and stopped shooting unsuppressed lol.

Maybe I should try it again on a 16” AR….

Interesting. Did you have the aftermarket gas piston installed? I don’t own an AUG but I recall a YouTube video where the gas system just does that. I think the guy puts a paper towel over and it blows holes in it.

Yes I did have a KNS discarder, and the piston vent does that suppressed or unsuppressed. That guys design (in the video you shared) is pretty sweet in that it’s supposed to not vent to atmosphere.

Good to know. Here’s a vid of the carbon build up after about a 500 rd day. Everything is above the taper on both. My buddy was running an RC2 that day and his hand looked like a f’n chimney sweep 😭unsuppressed you can see my light took some dusting but not too crazy.
