Other than the convenience, the right muzzle device will have other positive functions. This means I can quickly and instantly interchange my suppressors between all my rifles with no tools. The external dimensions of the KeyMount devices are the exact same. My 5.56 AR's use a 1/2x28 KeyMount, and my 6.5G and 300 BLK use 5/8x24 KeyMount.

So, you only need the 1 KeyMo mount, and then buy your KeyMount devices according to your rifle's threads. But the KeyMount muzzle brakes are really nice, and if you're using it on magnum cartridges, it helps to mitigate erosion of the blast baffle as quickly as if you're running DT.Īlso, your mention of the conundrum of running DT on both 1/2x28 and 5/8x24 is solved, because KeyMo is the same size, regardless of the size of the threads that the muzzle device & barrel have. Yes, it's pretty hefty in weight, and cost. What's the upside?Ĭlick to expand.This is why I invested in the KeyMo/KeyMount system. Does the KeyMo even make sense anymore? It's larger, heavier and considerably more expensive.

Other than the convenience associated with swapping muzzle devices between rifles, what would be the advantage of an adapter based system? On the surface, there doesn't appear to be one (i.e. Looking at the Dead Air Xeno/Area419 options, it appears you simply thread onto the adapter (which can host multiple muzzle devices) instead of the barrel directly. The only down side would seem to be the ass pain associated with trying to swap between 1/2 and 5/8 at the range. For less than $100 I can get a 1/2-28 end cap. I've got a self timing brake that I can do the same thing with. It would be drastically cheaper to just direct thread the can onto 5/8-24 hosts. I started running some numbers on what all this could potentially cost depending on how many rifles I wanna swap the can between. I am sure there are others that I am missing.

Alternatively, I could swap the end cap to Area 419's and buy into their Hellfire system. Dead Air also have KeyMo and Xeno mounts. My Nomad 30 finally cleared "jail." Comes from Dead Air direct thread.
