AIM 7 Integral Muzzle Device (IMD) Thread Mount 1.125×28 ALPHA 5/8X24 TPI
Description
Integral Muzzle Device (IMD) Thread Mount 1.125×28 ALPHA FOR 5/8X24 30CAL BARREL
- Material: Made from 17-4 H900 stainless steel, a high-strength and corrosion-resistant material commonly used in firearm components.
- Function: Combines two functionalities:
- Integral brake: Reduces recoil and muzzle rise like a traditional muzzle brake, but machined directly into the mount, not a separate attachment.
- Direct thread mount: Allows for direct attachment of a suppressor (silencer) to the barrel without needing a separate adapter.
- Benefits:
- Blast baffle protection: The integral brake design extends beyond the threads, offering additional shielding for the suppressor’s first baffle, which faces the hot gasses.
- Pinning compatibility: The long “tail” provides a surface area for pinning and securing the mount permanently to the barrel (a legal requirement in some areas).
- Handguard clearance: The tail length ensures compatibility with handguards that might extend slightly beyond the barrel shoulder.
- Seamless aesthetics: The tail diameter matches a typical AR barrel for a cleaner look.
This product offers a single, compact unit that combines a muzzle brake, suppressor mount, and potentially a pinning surface for legal compliance.
Material: 17-4 H900 stainless steel
Overall length: 1.11″
Flange diameter: 1.15″
Weight: 3.3 ounces
External thread: 1.125×28 ALPHA (HUB)
Function:
- Integral muzzle brakes work just like traditional muzzle brakes. They utilize vents, ports, or baffles to redirect propellant gases exiting the barrel.
- This redirection helps to counter recoil and muzzle rise, allowing for faster follow-up shots and improved accuracy during rapid fire.
Benefits:
- Compactness: An integral brake eliminates the need for a separate attachment, resulting in a shorter overall firearm length while maintaining the benefits of a muzzle brake.
- Reduced weight: By eliminating a separate component, the overall weight of the firearm can be slightly reduced.
Aesthetics: Some shooters prefer the cleaner look of an integral brake compared to a separate attachment. - Legality: In some jurisdictions, there are minimum barrel length requirements. An integral brake that extends the barrel length can help a firearm meet these requirements.
Drawbacks:
- Limited options: With an integral brake, you’re stuck with the specific design machined into the barrel. You cannot swap it out for a different type of muzzle device.
- Modification difficulty: If the integral brake is damaged, it can be more difficult and expensive than a replaceable muzzle device.
Applications:
- Integral muzzle brakes are often found on hunting or competition rifles where shooters benefit from reduced recoil and faster follow-up shots.
- They can also be seen on some tactical rifles where compactness and maneuverability are important.
Here are some additional points to consider:
- Integral muzzle brakes can be louder than traditional brakes due to the design being fixed within the barrel.
- An integral brake’s effectiveness depends on the firearm’s specific design and caliber.
I hope this clarifies the concept of integral muzzle brakes for firearms.
