RAPTOR
Our Flagship Suppressor
RAPTOR TECHNOLOGY
Built to serve as a solution to the multi-gun and multi-caliber dilemma that suppressor owners face, the Raptor comes in a variety of lengths & calibers to suit your individual needs.
Each Raptor suppressor connects via the provided Reflex mounting system or flush mount. You may also opt to utilize the Raptor Adapter to convert the base threads of the suppressor to the "industry standard" 1.375x24 thread pitch for use in conjunction with a wide array of QD mounts on the market.
The Raptor uses spiral shaped baffles to keep the gasses moving while reducing back pressure. Utilizing the Reflex mounting systems greatly increases the suppressor volume without increasing the overall length of the firearm.
The Raptor comes in 5.56mm, 7.62mm, .338cal and .375cal, as well as lengths from 2 spirals to 10 spirals, with Reflex mounting options from 1” to 5”.
AB SPIRAL TECH
Plain and simple, our spirals are designed to be more efficient.
Using spirals verses conical baffles gives the gases something to do rather than slamming into an angular wall or hard corner. By peeling gases off of the bore and sending them into a spin, we can greatly reduce the energy of those gases quickly and efficiently. As the gases lose energy, the spiral can be fed with more gases. This spinning effect burns off energy rather than trying to stop it.
AB Spiral Technology significantly reduces the back pressure created with each shot. The reduced pressure also creates a much lower tone, making for a more pleasant resonance at the shooter's ear.

Interchangeable mounting systems allow the Raptor series to be used on a wide array of different host firearms. Using the correct aperture for each caliber increases performance and is critical to maximum suppression, though not required for use when shooting sub-calibers through a larger bored Raptor.
-
With the utilization of Titanium, we achieve a longer life for the suppressor and also keep the weight at a minimum to allow for better accuracy and a better overall shooting experience. The Raptor's spirals, end cap, blast chamber & mounts are all constructed from 100% Titanium.
-
The circumference welded construction allows for a maximization of internal volume for optimal sound performance, adds durability to the overall build, and makes for a tubeless design which decreases total system weight.

C-138 Jet Black high-temp, air-cured Cerakote is the industry-leading thin film coating for duty grade suppressors. We choose this because it withstands full-auto temperatures without failing, has low IR signature, and provides great abrasion resistance. This coating will not boil, bubble, or become discolored under hard use like its baked-on counterpart; H-series Cerakote.

how to choose your
raptor length
There are several criteria to take into consideration when selecting the right Raptor suppressor for your needs. All Raptor baffles and Raptor components are made in-house from 100% titanium and is fully welded to allow for a tubeless design which is inherently very lightweight.
The fewer the baffles, the lighter and shorter the Raptor becomes, at the consequence of reduced overall sound performance. Conversely, as more baffles are added, the Raptor becomes longer, heavier, and quieter.
For example, a hunter that has a lot of hiking and only a little shooting to do may opt for a Raptor 2, 4 or even 6 as would someone building a home defense/CQB rifle or a SWAT team looking to keep the overall length of their duty weapons short. Alternatively, someone shooting recreationally or long range, someone who isn’t counting ounces & inches, would likely lean towards a Raptor with 6, 8 or 10 baffles to achieve a better suppression level.
-
So how many baffles is “enough” baffles? It’s an age-old question with no precise answer, which is why we let you decide what is best for you. Your gun, your use-case, your suppressor. Some users put a criterial precedent on system weight or overall length, whereas others may not care about the spatial constraints of their kit and their sole focus is on sound performance. Many variables both within the suppressor & adjoining mounting system(s) as well as the host firearm will affect overall suppression level, so reasonable consideration should be put into selecting the Raptor that makes the most sense for your firearm & application at hand.
-
The more baffles are added to a Raptor, the more gas flow restriction is induced and thus the more combusting gasses are effectively suppressed.
Essentially, when oversimplified; more baffles = less noise. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that the Raptor 10 is the best overall option for your firearm (even if you do put a precedence on sound). Most off the shelf AR-15’s and other common semi-automatic rifles are intentionally over-gassed by design to ensure better reliability when shooting unsuppressed, in adverse/unlubricated/dirty conditions, or with underpowered steel cased ammo. When a suppressor is added to this equation, typically some amount of blowback will occur due to the combustive gas flow being restricted at the muzzle. Adding too many baffles to a host like this can result in a situation where the report of the gunshot is technically louder at the shooter’s ear than it is at the muzzle/downrange. If the user is seeking to avoid a situation like this, they can simply go with a shorter Raptor, or they can address the over-gassing within the host firearm’s operating system via tuning the gun. Manual/closed-action firearms, like bolt-action & lever-action guns, will always benefit from the addition of more baffles, as the bolt remains mechanically shut throughout the entirety of the combustion event, forcing all the gases through the baffle stack.

Each Raptor suppressor is sold with a Reflex mount, flush mount, end cap and six pin tool.
REFLEX MOUNTING SYSTEM
take advantage of the area around your barrel
reflex mounting system
A Reflex mount allows the suppressor to take advantage of the area around the barrel (otherwise unused) to significantly increase the blast chamber volume, without adding additional length to the weapon system.
For example, a 3 inch standard Reflex mount increases the blast chamber's total volume to 7.26 cubic inches, which is equal to 243% of a flush mount's respective volume.
-
-Reduced sound pressure
-Deeper tone/superior harmonics
-Reduced flash signature
-Reduced blow-back out of the ejection port
-Reduced bolt unlock speed/cyclic rate of machine guns
-Reduced wear & tear on the operating system and key components of the host firearm
-Floating weight over the barrel decreased barrel whip, for more repeatedly precise and accurate shots
-Acts as a sacrificial baffle, increasing longevity of the spirals by taking the brunt of the blast -
The blast chamber plays a key role in the design of a suppressor, having a direct effect on a multitude of performance variables like accuracy, back-pressure, dB reduction and tone. The blast chamber is defined by the area behind the blast baffle/spiral where the combustive gasses first enter when exiting the muzzle. With an industry-standard flush mount this area is 2.99 cubic inches.
Specifications
Reflex mounts are available for Standard Barrels up to 3/4” in diameter and Bull Barrels up to 1” in diameter. Stock reflex lengths are 1 inch, 2 inch, 3 inch, 4 inch, and 5 inch.
All reflexes are made out of premium titanium, have a 1.625” diameter and have industry standard thread counts (5/8-24. 1/2-28, etc.)
