How does everyone connect their suppressor

I was using a CB mount but decided to covert over to DT. Basically saving $ on having a break on each barrel. I do run into an issue where I'm needing to add blue Loctite to gum up the threads some as in using direct thread I noticed the suppressor does come loose more.

How does loctite hold up to high temps IRL?

Standard is only good to 300F, and their high temp stuff only to 650F. Suppressors get over 800F with sustained fire.
 
Loctite is not necessary on a DT suppressor and likely non effective for the reasons stated above.

When installing on the final 1/4 turn of the suppressor, quickly "snap" it to tightness and it will hold.
Also, I loosen at the end of each shooting session so the suppressor doesn't bind up on the threads making it very difficult if wanting to remove later…...just saying.
 
I currently run a mix of Direct thread, Area 419, Xeno, KeyMo and I think I still have one AR with an ASR brake.

If we get some of the new Dead Air cans I'm going to look into converting all non AR rifles to Xeno just for convenience while leaving the ARs as KeyMo.
 
3 lug mount on my Springfield kuna....the only suppressor I own and I wanted something that was quick on and off

If you are hitting 800F with a long range hunting bolt gun (this IS Long Range Hunting.com you know)...quit shooting at the animal and call it a loss.

I think you're on to something here. I've had some pretty good engagements with sounders of hogs that kinda turn into mag dumps with AR10's, and not even gotten the suppressor hot enough to worry about skin sticking to it, let alone 800°F LOL. They rifles do look cool in the thermal afterward though. Never had the QD loosen during one of these encounters either, or during a range session. I have had to wait for them to cool down to get the can off easily, as everything gets hot and swells they get kinda tight.
 
For me direct thread for handguns and 22lr, muzzle adapters installed with Rokset on long guns based on suppressor for that gun.

Some are the brake type, many are flash hider so not crazy loud when shooting without the can.

I utilize Huxwrx suppressor and attachment. Works very well. Tightened as recommended by Huxwrx. No problems to date.
