Greasegunner Posted December 27, 2024 Report Share Posted December 27, 2024 Hello All: I recently received an old school AWC Tac nine can. It has a 3 lug attachment in the form nut about an inch long with female threads Suppressor has male threads to screw into the 3 lug piece There is no spring with it when i put the 3 lug piece over the barrel and screw the suppressor down, it gets super tight it wont "quick release" since the suppressor screws of the 3 lug piece independently. Is this how its supposed to work Even though rock solid ,I am afraid to shoot it any input will be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted December 27, 2024 Report Share Posted December 27, 2024 Loosen the cap, put it on, rotate the cap, then tighten the threads so it locks down. They are really nice cans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got Uzi Posted December 27, 2024 Report Share Posted December 27, 2024 They are the hidden gem in the MP5 suppressor world. I like mine and it sounds great. I should use it more than I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
har1340 Posted December 28, 2024 Report Share Posted December 28, 2024 I have the exact same AWC can I bought NIB from Lynn in 1993 when they were released. Had my C3 then and AWC "faxed" ATF the Form 3 and was approved with-in two days. Upon my receipt of the TAC 9 suppressor, the contents were instructions, one piece can and the 3 lug piece as described in OP's statement. You are indeed correct there are no additonal washers, springs etc. in terms of mounting requierments. So install tighten and shoot away!

jrh Posted December 28, 2024 Report Share Posted December 28, 2024 That mount was designed by Tim Bixler in Houston. Bixler worked with/for AWC at one time. It has been used on AWC, GemTec, Curtis Tactical (Now Shaw), GSL, and others. It does not use a spring lock mechanism, like you found out, you tighten it once the. lugs are locked on the 3-lug. It is not the fastest to mount, but I like it much better than the spring loaded mount. I don't know about others but I have had baffle strikes on the spring loaded 3-lug mounts (MK9K). Either the spring wasn't strong enough or the can was too heavy. I had Dater them switched to the Bixler mount and no issues since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
