You're tripping my trigger with these Do you make these or buy them? Other .30 cal thread pitches available? I have a Remington LTR in .308 that is threaded for a can.

[FJ540]

I'm making these 100% manually right now in my shop (manual lathe, manual mill - old school: turning hand-wheels and watching readouts), but I've got an order for 500 of each size of the slugs (threaded, knurled, cut to length) in with a screw machine shop that should be delivering in 2-3 weeks (knurling could be different on those). I'm meeting with my salesman Monday to review the contract and make sure he understands the prints and what dimensions are important (and what I'll reject). Once I get those, I'll still be doing the profile work here, but I'm rolling it over to my cnc mill in the coming days. I just need to get the program(s) done.

I'm not sure when I'll have more of the .223 version done. I've got plenty of material, but want to focus on getting the mill up and running them for when I have my slugs done. If you guys are that itchy, I have a buddy in TX who also wants some .223's so I could do another batch this week. PM me.

Eventually, I'll be experimenting with the AK platform and hope to have a STD for that (14x1 LH), but it's on the back burner until I'm done with this initial production run (1K units).

Rukwikenuf was a damn fine trigger man for the R&D videos. The heat from the .223 pistol burned all his hair off and now it won't grow back. Give him a break!

Speaking of videos, there will be new ones coming. I'm hoping to shoot a demo aimed for youtube in the next month. That kind of depends on weather and my kid's schedule right now.

I'll have some with me at the 98 pounds lunch today too.

5/8-24 for the .30's.

9/16 and metric versions will come later. Keep in mind, I have over 800 rounds through these for testing. It's not just a design that looks cool, these are put through their paces. I have way too much invested to just spit out other sizes and hope they work. What you get will work.

Btw, Atomic Tactical now carries STD's and will be offering special pricing as well as accepting CC transactions.

Nobody has black yet - they don't exist.

The STD combines the noise redirection benefits of other in-line flash suppressors with the small size of the A2. At under half the weight of other such devices, you no longer have to suffer with additional weight and length to gain the benefits of this style flash suppressor - regardless of how short your barrel is.


The STD was designed for hunters, by a hunter. Jim was tired of losing his night vision when shooting in low light, and equally tired of having his ears hurt when the shot was fired without ear plugs in. Many other designs were fielded before finally going back to the drawing board - literally; starting over from scratch with the K.I.S.S. principle. Keep It Simple Stupid. When he grabbed his note pad to sketch out a quick blueprint for a thread protector he didn't stop at that, kept drawing, and the STD's concept was born.


By changing the way the gasses are introduced to the atmosphere, the flash signature out of a STD is greatly diminished, more than any other comparable product available today short of a NFA device. A quick look at in-line "compensators" on Youtube shows how miserably ineffective they are, until now.


The added benefit of this design, is that it reduces the concussion felt by the shooter and those along side them. Anyone who's shot at an indoor range knows all too well that being along side a high powered rifle in the next bay can make shooting miserable even with plugs in. People who've been around the STD's in that same situation have remarked how pleasant it is - despite shooting some of the shortest barrels that function in the AR pistol platform and full power ammunition.


How well does it work though? We have to shoot in the dark to capture the flash signature on camera. Guns which light up a room without a muzzle device are reduced to the lumen output of a Bic lighter if you can even see the flash - with a 7.5 inch barrel.


Currently available in .223/5.56 with 1/2-28 threads and .30 caliber 5/8-24 designs specifically engineered for the AR platform and proven with extensive live fire testing. Other sizes will be developed in the future.

Just like the other acronym, STD's come in fish nets.

[FJ540]

They're ready!

[FJ540]

Satin .30's are now available with 5/8-24 threads.

You can buy the 5.56's at Bill's Gunshop in Robbinsdale or Atomic Tactical in Bloomington.

Black is coming!
