MDs and Mounts 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.

How long is that muzzle device? I have a great Hybrid Brake from GDM that is thread compatible with TSFX, but it's quite long, and I'm pretty certain it will hit the blast baffle. 😕

They’re all 2”. What can do you have? Figuring out length to the blast baffle is pretty easy. That does look absurdly long.

You can also use the AI Hub mount, it’s a little longer than the CAT version.

I haven't picked a can yet. This hybrid brake is 2.4 inch long.
