what do you mean by "... but the ratchet will prevent any further loosening for at least a couple hundred rounds, which is the max round count I've tested this."
do you mean it is going to wear out? </div></div>
I'm sorry if I confused you. No it should never wear out. It has a lifetime warranty-at least my YHM does.
I just threw in a little tip to save you and anybody else reading this from getting your suppressor stuck on your adapter. I really shouldn't have said anything, but here's the explanation.
Mine has a very simple ratchet mechanism that keeps the suppressor from backing off the adapter. It only takes like 2.5 to 3 turns for the suppressor to screw on or off. When you screw the suppressor on, it will engage the ratchet and click like the gas cap on your truck. (you DO have a truck don't you?
) If you screw it on TIGHT, you may have a very hard time backing it off after it has heated up and cooled off a few times. So in order to prevent this I screw it on til it stops clicking and then back it up one click so it won't seize during use. It's that simple but I took half a page explaining it.
My adapters are about 60 to 80 dollars apiece, some are as high as 150 or so. Availability of them is something to also consider if you plan on using it on multiple weapons. I use mine on 6 different rifles.
