When selecting a muzzle device, ensure it matches your firearm's thread pitch and caliber. Proper installation is crucial for safety and performance; consider consulting a professional gunsmith if you're uncertain about the process.

 

Tapered muzzle devices, like those used with the Plan B system, offer several key benefits when paired with a suppressor:

1. Improved Alignment

The taper on the muzzle device creates a self-aligning system. When the suppressor is screwed onto the muzzle device, the taper helps ensure that the suppressor is perfectly centered and aligned with the bore of the rifle. This reduces the risk of misalignment, which can affect accuracy and suppressor performance.

2. Quick and Easy Attachment

Tapered mounts typically require less effort and time to attach. Unlike some systems that use shims or washers to achieve proper alignment, a tapered mount ensures a more secure fit with fewer parts involved. This can make it easier to quickly attach or detach your suppressor without needing tools or complicated adjustments.

3. Enhanced Stability

The tapered design provides better stability compared to a straight-threaded mount, which can wear over time or become loose. The angled surface of the taper reduces the chance of the suppressor loosening during shooting, keeping it securely in place.

4. Reduced Barrel Stress

A properly aligned suppressor helps mitigate stress on the barrel and threading. With a taper, the force is distributed more evenly, which reduces the potential for damage to the threads or barrel over time. It can also prevent unnecessary wear on the suppressor itself.

5. Lower Maintenance

Because the tapered system typically eliminates the need for washers or additional alignment tools, it simplifies the mounting system, which can reduce maintenance and time spent adjusting. It also keeps the system cleaner by preventing the accumulation of dirt or debris that could affect the threads.

6. Consistency in Accuracy

With the suppressor securely aligned and properly attached, you get more consistent shot placement. Misalignment can cause irregularities in bullet trajectory, but a tapered mounting system minimizes this risk, leading to better accuracy when shooting suppressed.

7. Reduced Poof and Flash

In some tapered devices, the design also contributes to flash reduction, as the suppressor fits tightly against the muzzle brake or flash hider, creating better flash suppression.

Overall, a tapered muzzle device simplifies suppressor mounting, improves performance, and increases the longevity of both the suppressor and your firearm.
