Nobody likes cleaning take apart cans, especially us! It doesn’t take much shooting at all, especially 22 or 9mm, to get a suppressor so gunked up you can barely get it apart, let alone all the scrubbing and scraping to get it back to some semblance of clean. It’s one of those tasks that is definitely worth it, but never quite as satisfying as breaking down and cleaning your favorite firearm. When thinking about cleaning a take apart silencer, the old adage is ever true, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Or, in our case, a few drops of CLP are worth an hour of scrubbing! When you get that new Centurion (or any other take apart can), take a few minutes to “clean” it first. Since it’s brand new, there isn’t any actual cleaning to be done, but getting a good, thin layer of quality CLP before the first shot will go a long way to cut down on carbon and lead buildup. We’re fond of Rand CLP around here and find it works well for this and many other daily functions. Starting out with a little CLP on the surfaces of the core and inner surface of the tube is no cleaning “magic bullet”, but it will help. And any time saved in cleaning is always a welcome surprise!

Any accuracy in shooting relies on a stable platform, be it your skeletal frame or a shooting bench. For years, shooters have relied on shooting bags to help create that solid platform in the field. The Boss Bag from Cole-Tac is one of the best such bags in the business, and we at Liberty Suppressors are proud to be carrying them in our web store. Whether using it under the fore end on a varied surface like rocks, or using it as a rear bag on a bench, this bag has all the features you need and none of the gimmicks you don’t. The Boss Bags are hand made using 1000 denier Cordura and come filled with a non-absorbing polymer. The hardware is extremely durable and the adjustable strap is placed perfectly for tightening to make an easy to grasp shape while leaving the maximum amount of adjustment. If you’re in the market for a solid shooting bag, give the Boss Bag by Cole-Tac a shot.

If  you’ve already purchased a Mystic or Mystic X, first off, we want to say Thanks! We hope  you like it as much as we do and we’re truly honored that you’ve trusted us with your hearing, your time, and your hard earned money. As much as we love the Mystic line of cans, our R&D team has worked their juju-magic and made it possible for you to upgrade your Mystic or Mystic X to the new Cosmic 45! You’ll have all the versatility of the suppressor  you’ve come to love, while adding all the new calibers of the Cosmic – up to 45ACP. The tube will be modified slightly to conform to the Cosmic specs but the model name and serial number will not be altered. By doing this, we’ve eliminated the need for another stamp! You can purchase this upgrade on our Web Store HERE. Once purchased, simply print your receipt, put it in the box with your can and send it straight to us. No need to go through your Class III dealer. The turn around time on this is currently sitting at around three weeks or less, and we’ll have your baby safely back in your arms! Just one more way we’re looking to add value for our Liberty Family!

So you just got your new Cosmic Suppressor (or Mystic X or Centurion) and you’re pumped. Trust us, we know the feeling! You head to the nearest range to try this bad boy out, but something is off. You know your pistol is dead on at 15 yards, but when you screw on your new can, you’re shooting low and right about 1″, pretty consistently. What’s the deal?

Point of impact (POI) shift is a standard phenomena that occurs when shooting with a suppressor. The baffles inside a suppressor are designed, essentially, to cause turbulence in the gasses leaving the barrel of the firearm when a round is fired. This turbulence is what causes the gasses to slow down and cool slightly before leaving the end of the suppressor, thus reducing the sound of the muzzle blast. Some of these turbulent gasses can push the bullet slightly, causing a POI shift. Barring anything out of the ordinary, like a baffle strike or unstable round, this POI shift should be consistent and repeatable.

The suppressor or silencer booster is in the ready to use position

A great trick with the suppressor booster assembly, is the ability to index the suppressor, or rotate it while mounted, to be able to adjust the POI slightly. This can be done by simply utilizing the way the booster assembly and how it is actually made. First, visually and physically verify the firearm is cleared of any ammunition and the safety is on. Second, make sure the suppressor is not hot to the touch. Grasp the firearm with your dominant hand, remembering rule four of firearm safety by keeping your finger out of the trigger guard. {Fig. 1} Grasp the suppressor firmly with your support hand and pull it out, in a straight line, away from the firearm, compressing the booster assembly spring. {Fig. 2} You can then rotate the suppressor and allow the piston to drop back into any of the 10 slots in the housing.

Silencer or suppressor booster assembly extended by hand for indexing.

For example, if you find that with your suppressor, you are shooting low and right (4 o’clock), most shooters will index the silencer counter clockwise 3-4 positions to move the POI to directly above center (12 o’clock). This allows the shooter to know exactly where to aim when shooting targets.

We hope you found this information helpful and make sure to check back on the bulletin board for more tips and tricks to come.

We at Liberty have designed the most versatile 45 ACP pistol suppressor available. This unit can be used on several different calibers which include all the ones that the Mystic X is rated for as well as the list shown below. The Cosmic is also backwards compatible with all the mounting solutions we already have in place. Give your dealer a call today to get yours! By using our new bi-directional baffle technology, this suppressor is able to use a stainless steel core and be lighter in weight at the same time.

1/2 pound might not sound like much but add that to the end of your barrel and try to hit a small target at 100 yards and see what a difference it can make!

Now Liberty Suppressors offers our Leonidas line of suppressors in Titanium. By requesting a Titanium core in your Leonidas when you place your initial order, the total cost only increases by $280.

Visit the Leonidas TI Page here to check it out and give us a call to order yours today!

Our Research and Design Department have been at it again! This time the Recoil Booster comes away with a new look.

A new design in Melonite treated Stainless Steel for long life! What is Melonite? It’s a chemical process to the metal, not a coating. This treatment helps the piston function better by giving it less resistance inside the housing. It also keeps the booster looking newer longer due to a more resilient finish. Stop by the Web Store today and check it out!

The Liberty 3 lug mount adapter is made entirely of stainless steel for long life and durability. We designed this mount specifically for the H&K MP5 (9MM) family of guns. The surface of all parts is treated with a black nitride coating to provide excellent wear resistance as well as give the device a nice appearance. This device is backwards compatible with the original Mystic and the Infiniti as well. Adding just over an inch to the system this is also one of the shortest 3 lug mounts available.

Length Added: 1.050″
Diameter: 1.375″
Weight: 5 ounces
Material: Stainless Steel
Finish: Black Nitride
MSRP: $165

IF you have a HK MP5 or any of it’s derivatives, then this is the device for you that allows attachment of the Liberty Suppressors Mystic X, Infiniti X, Cosmic or even the Centurion silencer to your carbine. This is not a high pressure rifle mount system though and as such is not designed for the pressure levels of that a rifle silencer will experience in use, care should be taken to not mix this mount with 556 carbines as damage and possible bodily harm could occur. Stay safe out there !

A Silencer (or suppressor) is sometimes prone to loosening due to thermal expansion.

It is important to check the suppressor after firing 5 or 6 rounds to ensure it is not “shooting loose”. If it is loose, retighten and continue use. This should do it in most cases, but with some extreme firing schedule and rifle / silencer combinations, it is possible that it could work loose again. It should be checked again periodically, to make certain things are staying tight. CAUTION: The suppressor can get very hot during use, when checking to see if the silencer is tight on the firearm make sure to protect yourself from this heat.

With the explosive growth in the industry of ownership in silencers, a lot of people are coming into the community and have no idea of some of the nuances that surround suppressor use and care. We are trying to help bridge this gap in knowledge by writing about in these blog posts and sharing them with the community. 

556 Silencer Use…

A silencer like the Constitution 2 – a 556 hard use suppressor, can work loose due to several factors like the barrel threads could be slightly out of spec or the suppressor heats up more rapidly than the host weapon (this is actually the most common reason) and makes the silencer loose. Now keep in mind that if you tighten the suppressor while the system is hot, then when it cools, everything will get exponentially tighter. This can make it impossible to remove the suppressor after the session if you let the system cool first, sometimes it is easier to loosen the silencer prior to it being completely cool first. You will have to just work with it on an individual basis till you figure out what works for you.

When you are shooting at the range, just remember to make sure you dont let your silencer shoot loose… Hope this helps with your experience and stay safe!

Check out this video about upgrading your Kodiak TL silencer to the all new Regulator!

When you see the difference in the Kodiak TL and the Regulator, it is easy to understand why you would want to do the upgrade. The Kodiak TL while being David’s personal favorite can of all time, has it’s short comings. The first silencer shortcoming is that the rear cap gages off of the rear of the tube. Should the tube become dented for any reason on this surface the silencer will not gage true and you are prone to get baffle strikes from this issue. So great care must be taken to insure the tube doesn’t get damaged. The second thing the Regulator does better is that is it just plain quieter.

You heard that right, the Regulator is just plain quieter than the Kodiak TL even though it has borrowed it’s suppression technology from the older generation, there is significant design improvements in this silencer to make it better.

The last thing that the Regulator upgrade gives the Kodiak TL suppressor is we add the wavelike feature eliminating the need to tighten the silencer really tight to prevent tube spin. This was one of the things we aspired to eliminate when we designed the Regulator and we deliberately started with a Kodiak TL tube to develop it with so that we knew it would be able to be upgraded if people wanted to do that. This is just another way we here at Liberty Suppressors are always looking to provide more value to our silencer owners.

If you want to get your Kodiak TL upgraded to the Regulator design, just give us a call and we can get that done for you. 706-661-6911 dials right to the peeps you need to talk to about your silencer!

Liberty Suppressors uses 718 Inconel blast baffles in several rifle can (except the Constitution 2 and Amendment of course). This extends suppressor life to many thousands of rounds! Silencers are designed to live in a VERY harsh environment. In fact, it is one of the harshest environments I can think of to be honest about it. Extreme pressure events where the internal pressure spikes to crazy high levels. Then there is the particle impact damage from unburnt propellant particles and finally there is the heat…

Why do we use Inconel blast baffles?

The use of Inconel 718 in our hard use rifle cans is done for a plurality of reasons. In the below photo we see several different blast baffles designed to do different jobs. The main job is to absorb the abuse of the main blast of energy from the fired cartridge. This metal is VERY durable and has an incredible melting point lending itself to use in this application. There are other metals that do this job better, but they are expensive and even more difficult to work than Inconel 718.

We use Inconel 718 in both the Leonidas Gen 2 300 BLK integral upper as well as the Zulu 556 integral upper assembly. We also use it in our Agent 556 silencer too. In the past we have used it in many models like the Chaotic and the Torch also had Inconel 718 blast baffles. All of these suppressors were designed to be punished in their respective environs from high volume rifle fire. Also we get the question on occasion about why dont we just make the whole silencer out of it…? Well, to be honest, the suppressor would weigh a ton and would be insanely expensive and it would just be a waste of Inconel to be honest. There really is no benefit to using it past the first and maybe the second baffle. As the wear past this area is minimal and high grade stainless steel or titanium can handle this just fine.

This is the thread protector designed for the Fixed Barrel Adapters that are used with the Liberty Mystic X suppressor. Should you choose to leave the mount on your rifle, now there is a thread protector to cover the threads while the suppressor is not deployed on the mount. This device is backwards compatible with the Mystic and Infiniti silencers as well.
