Product DescriptionThe SureFire Warden Direct-Thread Blast Regulator is designed for 5.56 mm and 7.62 mm firearms to direct the concussive blast forward, away from the shooter, rather than venting gas to the sides like many muzzle brakes. This helps reduce overpressure experienced by shooters positioned to the left or right and minimizes dust signature when firing from prone or near the ground. Precision-machined from rugged, heat-treated stainless steel and finished with a durable black Cerakote coating, the Warden also protects exposed barrel threads from damage and fouling. Unlike sound suppressors, the Warden is not an NFA item.Product Highlights Forward-blast diffuser helps reduce side concussion and overpressure for adjacent shooters Direct-thread attachment for quick, easy installation on compatible threaded barrels Black Cerakote finish over heat-treated stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance Helps mitigate dust signature when firing from prone or low-to-ground positions Not an NFA device-no suppressor-related restrictions typically associated with purchase Specs Brand: SureFire Product Type: Direct-thread blast regulator / blast diffuser Color: Black Finish/Coating: Cerakote finish Material/Construction: Heat-treated stainless steel Thread Pitch: 5/8-24 Compatible Calibers: 5.56 mm / 7.62 mm Length: 3.0 in (7.6 cm) Diameter: 1.5 in (3.8 cm) Weight: 6.1 oz (173 g) Country of Manufacture: USA UPC: 084871328197 Manufacturer Part Number: WARDEN-5/8-24-BK Disclaimer: We strive to provide accurate and up-to-date product descriptions, specifications, and images; however, errors or omissions may occasionally occur.
