Hey guys! Below is a little cheat sheet on the different threads for mounting Suppressors. We are totally aware how confusing the whole process of picking the right Pistons, Direct Mounts, Flash Hiders, or Brakes can be for your different weapon platforms. If we missed something, please message us at info@esilencers.com so we can add/correct anything.

• M=Metric(for example: M13.5×1 LH means that the numbers are metric instead of standard.)
• LH=Left Hand(for example: M13.5×1 LH means the threads are backwards from the way you normally tighten things. This thread pitch is righty-loosey, lefty-tighty)
• RH=Right Hand(for example: M16x1RH means the threads tighten like your more than likely accustomed to (righty-tighty).  If no LH or RH is designated, RH is the default.
• .22 LR, .22 MAG, .17 HMR
