Suppressors Which HUB mount

[Hunt]

Looking at a PTR Vent 1 as a first suppressor. Planning on using it on a bolt gun as well as an AR. Am I better sticking with direct thread or should I be looking at a HUB mount?

If so, which HUB mounts so you recommend?

area 419 for me - I have been extremely happy with it. others will likely recommend rearden

I'm a Rearden fan, but they all more or less do the same thing.

What I like about the Rearden is the taper before the threads - that works to mitigate carbon getting into the threads. I also like that its simple thread on/off. There's no secondary retention, which for some may matter.

I've been direct thread for 5+ years and I am slowly switching over to Rearden. Lock up that doesn't loosen, no empty threaded rifles hanging around the safe waiting for crowns to get nicked, sacrificial baffle of comp, etc. Just seems like a better idea.

You're going to LOVE the PTR. I have a Vent 1 and 3 and they're fantastic on AR's. Haven't used them on a bolt gun yet. I use TBAC compact brake
Via HUB. You can get a HUB interface from Ecco Machine in stainless or Titanium at a decent price. They work great for me

I'm new to suppressors, although I now have 4. I was all in on sticking with direct thread, but have now changed my mind. I have two very similar rigs with 11.5" barrels. One is direct threaded and the other runs an SRX Mini brake. I do shoot A LOT. No less than 2k rounds of 5.56 a month. Just in the few thousand rounds I'm seeing noticeably more erosion on the blast baffle of the directed threaded can than I'm seeing on the can running the brake.

Honestly, if I wasn't so invested in SRX, I would have gone with the Plan B system using Atlas mounts. The muzzle device options are almost infinite and they are very reasonably priced.
