The Maxim Defense M240 SUPPRESSOR is specifically designed to minimize the increase in cyclic rate and gas blowback of a suppressed weapon system. Primary design features include the significant reduction of sound signature, decreasing flash signature, reduction of recoil, increase in accuracy. During installation, the suppressor locks into place with a specific torque on the core, then is pinned onto the barrel for absolute assurance of installation. When installed to spec, this method ensures that the suppressor will not loosen during fire. – Increase reliability and longevity with host firearms due to low gas blowback and low gain in host weapon cyclic rate. (4% cyclic increase on FN M240 Lima) Drops sound to well below hearing safe levels (specific reduction based on caliber, weapon configuration, and atmospheric conditions) average measurement per MILSTD-1474D of 136dB. Decreases flash, decreases recoil, increases accuracy. Fully and easily serviceable. Disassembles with common tools
