Sporting the same build metals-stainless steel core and Stellite™ baffle stack-as the shorter S unit, the L measures 8.9” and weighs 21.8 ounces. Their ground-breaking design skillset has already worked wonders, and more are on the way. The Sandman-L is evidence of this fact and reinforces the notion that Georgia-based Dead Air is a manufacturer to keep a close eye on. When you get Mike Pappas, Todd Magee, and Gary Hughes in a room talking silencers, expect amazing results. To help differentiate this unit from its kin, simply rock out to this song for obvious reasons. Similar to its smaller brethren-S, K, and TI models-the Sandman-L is a versatile and highly effective can for your centerfire hosts. Dead Air themselves enveloped the HUB pattern with the release of the Nomad, and Griffin Armament did the same thing with the launch of the Bushwhacker 46 even including adapters for their own devices.For those who prefer longer over shorter (in terms of silencers, of course), the Dead Air Silencers Sandman-L is an optimal choice in the 7.62mm rifle category. ![]() Ourselves we have some bi-lock to 1.375 adapters. The Dead Air Keymo system allows folks to break into the HUB 1.375×24 TPI space. Though we have yet to come across an adapter for Surefire muzzle devices, likely due to the complexity, we anticipate it happening in the aftermarket sometime in the future.Ĭompanies will well-established mounts like Surefire, Dead Air, and Gemtech probably can and will continue using their mounting systems while embracing the aftermarket. With a HUB 1.374×24, you'll never have that problem, even if the silencer company goes out of business the day after you buy a can. Unfortunately, neither the mount nor the silencers were entirely backward-compatible they aspired to make it work, but it was impossible with the new locking mechanism. Years back when Surefire released their SOCOM-series of suppressors they rolled out an improved mounting system. The current practice used by companies like Dead Air and Griffin Armament is to include a pair of wrenches to ensure everything stays in place, but we've still inadvertently rotated HUB 1.375×24 TPI silencers off of adapters regardless of what wrenches were used. The internal adapters are more tricky because if you want to keep the modular aspect of your silencer, thread locker is going to make it all the more difficult. The muzzle device is the easiest fix here, as all you have to do is use a little Rocksett during installation. This means when you're removing your silencer you can potentially rotate off your muzzle device, rotate the adapter out of the silencer, or remove the silencer as intended. As of right now, unless you're using an Area 419 adapter, everything is threaded right-hand. It's far too late in the game to make the change now, but we absolutely wish that SilencerCo changed the wheel a bit more and instead threaded this new module for a 1.375×24 *lefthand*. The HUB 1.375×24 pitch is a standard used for bicycle hubs and locks, so the wheel wasn't reinvented, but instead repurposed. There are more than a dozen companies making devices, adapters, boosters, and more for this pattern. People screaming for an easier-to-use mount helped kick the can along further. It has since been dubbed the HUB: Hybrid Universal Base. The Gemtech Multi-mount and ONE has a similar system, as does Liberty Suppressors with the Mystic and virtually any new release moving forward.Ī combination of the sheer numbers of SilencerCo mounts in existence along with the larger diameter of 1.375-mount silencers which makes it easier for mounts to fit ensured SilencerCo would be the winner. ![]() And SilencerCo wasn't the only one working towards a modular back-end. ![]() Though they probably didn't realize it at the time, when SilencerCo released the Hybrid line with a 1.375×24 internal thread, they would be making the universal standard what would relegate proprietary muzzle devices as a thing of the past. ![]()
