See you all in the next one!
Absolutely appreciate the review! Thanks so much for taking the time to go over the ins and outs of this fan favorite! Just wanted to talk about/add a couple things that you had mentioned in the video. 1. Currently the only available options of the Gate-LOK cans are the M4SD-K (5.56), the M4SD-ii (5.56), and the 30SD-K (.30cal). We also offer a Gate-LOK blast shield (9mm aperture) for folks either waiting for their can or folks that can't have cans depending on where they live. And we MIGHT be coming out with a tubeless 5.56 Gate-LOK can...... 2. Unfortunately not all A2 muzzle devices will work as some companies do not abide by the mil spec dimensions or have varying tolerances, but all Griffin Gate-LOK cans ship with a muzzle device. The 5.56 cans come with a 1/2x28 device, the .30 cans come with a 5/8x24 device. If you need others, they can be found on the site. 3. The Gate-LOK system is actually intended to be manipulated with one hand, using the thumb to work the plate forward and the pointer and middle finger to lift the locking gate. However, this does take some practice and can be difficult if the can is still pretty hot. 4. It can be kind of annoying to get the can to sit exactly where it needs to be. The newer .30 cal muzzle devices included with the can have the over travel stop machined into the part. The 5.56 devices historically have not and but have included an over travel stop tab. This is something we're updating for future devices, the over travel stop will be machined into the part itself! Great video, great info! Glad you're enjoying the can!
WOW thank you guys for the feedback on the video! We are super happy that you liked it and thank you for some more details!
A tubeless Gate-Lok suppressor sounds great! I really like the Explorr and M4SD variants. A tubeless Gate-Lok design sounds like a blend of both of those. Thanks for sharing!
You guys don't sell the brake/comp that came with the 30SD anymore. Only a single option remains. Hopefully that stays up for sale.
I purchased 5 cans from GA in 2016. (M4SDII, 30SD, and 3x Revo's) it took the better part of 18 months to finally get them. By the time I did they were already going obsolete. My instructions indicated to LocTite the collars. (GA has since back peddled on that as it seizes the collars up) That's how long ago I got them! I fear I'll go to get a muzzle device/adapter for a new gun and it'll no longer be available. Kinda sucks that items made to be around for 10+ years get lowered/no support within 6. These items are expensive and take eons to obtain. Maintaining solid support for those of us that dropped thousands of dollars should be somewhat of a priority. I'm really glad I purchased a bunch of adapters for those Revo's because it seems you seldom, if ever, make them anymore.
My only disappointment with GA is this abandonment of product support. The cans are fantastic, no doubt. The lack of replacement/new hardware is a real bummer and will for sure be on my mind when I'm deciding on who's silencers I buy in the future.
The M4SD-K is a beast. I love mine. I will concur that not all A2 Flash Hiders are the same. The M4SD-K Gate-Lok doesn't fit all my rifles, but most. The suppressor does come with a Griffin A2, so the ones it doesn't work on you can always replace with the included muzzle device or buy more for like $80 from Griffin.
Who do I contact to buy this ???
As always don't forget to use the suppressor stop indexed at 6 exactly so it stops the can from going all the way into the can.
IF.... im not mistaken... The movement back and forth with the can actually helps keep it from carbon locking. But i may(most likely) am wrong
That is a very good point! it just might.
You are not wrong; it is to prevent build up carbon and easy removal. I never have an issue with build up. Removal is a breeze.
@@everett123hawj2 nice
Well you sold me on that Griffin Gate-Lok adapter. Not having to buy & mess with $100 proprietary flash hiders (looking at you Dead Air KeyMo) is revolutionary!
Thank you for a great review. Answered all my questions.
I’ve had the qd blast deflector (the old one with more of an open “mouth”) for a long time. It works with A2 flash hiders that meet the specs exactly. I had two a2’s (one from windham and one from PSA) that did not work with the gate lok. Daniel defense worked no problem. When i needed another a2 i just went with DD again since they seem to get the spec exactly
Will this fit on the daniel defense extended flash hider?
FN COLLECTOR 14.7 INCH BARREL WITH A2 FLASH HIDER WAY TO GO 1 STAMP and shortest rifle length with a stamp FOR THE SUPPRESSOR - FUN TIMES AHEAD !
very cool! love the energy you bring to the video
I have a 30SDK, awesome can for my ARs, AKs, and larger caliber bolt guns. My main concern when choosing a can was the mounting system, the ability to use an A2 flash hider on firearms I don’t use often is amazing. Having to pop an expensive muzzle device on every firearm I’d like to shoot suppressed would be super annoying. Super happy with it.
Only criticism:
1. Griffin no longer offers a muzzle brake for Gate Lok, kind of like MBs on some guns. And the sacrificial baffle idea.
2. The appearance. The dimpled pattern for heat dispersion probably has some functionality. But I much prefer the smooth appearance of a can. At least it sticks out and looks unique I guess!
Also have 30sd/k which ak are you using with it? Did you have to mitigate any concentricity issues?
All QD suppressors are technically Quick Attach anyway since no one in their right mind is going to touch a piping hot piece of metal after a shooting session. Because of that I personally don’t mind having thread on cans since you are going to have to wait anyway.
Works great on a Daniel M4A1 with a pinned flash hider
The ddm4? Think I may go with this on mine
I was thinking of getting the Daniel M4A1 but wasn’t too sure if this suppressor would fit because some people say that it’s old system of the A2 and that manufacturers don’t make them anymore, and it hardly to come by to find anything that fits. Does this suppressor work on yours DD M4A1?
I'm on the fence between the M4SD II and a SOCOM556-RC2...your review had me choose the former.
Excellent review too...
I have both. Im kinda pissed I got two surefires and 7 of their muzzle devices. The griffin has less blow back ( i think its cuz the griffin dumps hella gas out its backside cuz it doesn’t seal as tight around the muzzle device). Also sounds quieter compared to my RC2 on a 16”. Also I am working on a video that shows flash at dusk. My RC2 was flashier.
GA for sure!
If it don’t require any special muzzle devices. Why did you put the griffin flash hider on? Didn’t it come with a standard a2flash hider?
not sure? this was a personal set up so the choice was made by the owner.
Griffin gives a flash hider/comp with the purchase of a suppressor. They’re better than an A2 performance wise. But milspec A2 flash hiders do work with the can.
do these cans work with pin and welded 14.5?
Does it have repeatable poi shift?
Best can on the market. Yes. It is.
Don’t you have to remove the crush washer????
Had the same question you ever figure out ?
@@tazmaniandevil8356 usually people say you do. That’s on those that aren’t pinned and welded. I’ll just have to email the company.
@@ramos5464 A2S-QD (A2 ATTACHABLE) SUPPRESSOR says in the description DO NOT NEED TO REPLACE CRUSH WASHER WITH SHIMS it’s a different suppressor tho same company better then having to remove pin and weld
@@tazmaniandevil8356 that’s awesome!!!!!
This outdoor location open to the public to shoot at?
No it is private land
Lmao hell yeah Colorado babayyyyy now I know where to get this can🤣
I want a suppressor that mounts to my BCM Comp Mod 1
Unfortunately this will not work for it. I had read in a couple forums that it would work for the mod 1, and just got it in after almost a year (thanks atf). It does not fit so I am going to have to get another muzzle device and have it pinned and welded to replace the mod 1. I never found another suppressor that would work for it.
Sucks that its not compatible with PWS triad 556. 🤦🏽♂️
Best can on the market period! Surefire's new SOCOM556-RC3 is still a joke compared to this can. With the comp provided with it you get the most flattest shooting ever plus muzzle flash etc.
Just want to be clear, NOT ALL A2s work w this can. Kinda picky, find one that works and buy a few.
Just randomly watching YT & didn’t even know JJJ uploaded videos.
I remember my first transaction in JD’s garage. 🥹 so proud.
