COST EFFECTIVE AND DURABLE STEEL SUPPRESSOR FOR TOUGH USE
The A-TEC AR variants of suppressors are built to be ruggedly dependable at a price point that makes them affordable to replace.
Intended Use
High round count, high heat shooting such as that conducted during pest destruction in harsh environments. Suitable for any .224 calibre calibre munition, for example 5.56NATO. Narrow body diameter to fit under some handguards.
Design Features
- Stainless steel throughout to provide high heat resistance, durability and longevity.
- Due to its small size this unit is relatively light weight despite the design priority being given to durability.
- Tough Cerakote surface finish to handle high temperature shooting and hard wear & tear.
- 30mm diameter that fits inside many handguards on modern rifles.
- Simple fixed baffle design provides good sound reduction performance.
- Muzzle forward, not reflex.
-
Optional A-Lock thread adaptor system. Any thread is supported.
- See link below to add an A-Lock to your order, it is not included.
- The A-Lock can be affixed to your rifle muzzle allowing quick attach/detach of the suppressor. It also provides the ability to use the same suppressor across multiple rifles all with different threads (an A-Lock for each muzzle is required for this and with calibres up to that of the suppressor).
- The A-Lock can instead be locked into the suppressor and the unit attached and detached like legacy suppressors (we prefer to do this for you by special request to ensure it is correct before use).
-
Optional conventional screw-on interface:
- 1/2x28 thread stocked, other threads by special order.
- Wide thread shoulder suitable for snugging securely against heavier barrels for high precision and repeatability.
- Not modular, it is fixed length.
- Important note on reduction performance: Unique to A-Tec, our suppressors are tested to the latest MIL-STD-1474D military standard which is the most stringent and difficult standard to test to. Research shows our competitors do not test to this standard. For comparing to competitors products we prefer to let our reputation do the talking but you will observe our suppressors performing 5-10% better for a stated dB and significantly better for dB reduction vs. weight & length.
- A-Tec have only one grade of precision: Match Grade. A-Tec suppressors are second to none for concentricity, straightness and fine dimensional tolerances. This is especially evident in our bore apertures which are tight to the projectile to maximise sound reductive effect. To get peak performance from an A-Tec suppressor, one's rifle muzzle must be correctly crowned, threaded and shouldered.

A-Lock Adaptor detailed design
It's a revolution in how you think about attaching your suppressor.
This unit can be used in two ways:
-
Adaptor locked on to the muzzle thread
- This allows the Optima and H2 suppressor to be quick attached and detached in a second with a forceful 1/4 turn.
- This allows a single suppressor to be shared amongst multiple rifles all with different threads. In this case the calibre of the suppressor must be equal or greater than the largest calibre rifle.
- This means the adaptor is on the end of the muzzle, maybe affecting it's aesthetic if it is a thin barrel
-
Adaptor locked inside the suppressor
- This allows the suppressor to be attached using muzzle threads like legacy suppressors.
- When the suppressor is removed, nothing is left on the barrel.
- We prefer to do this for you to ensure quality.
