Blast shield for PWS brake...

Recommended Posts

I remembered. 

I attempted to install the Griffin Blastshield on 2 different PWS FSC556 comps - an early one and a second gen (not the newest one, but the second iteration of the gen 1).

It would not go on the original version at all. I could install it on the later model, but there was a lot of play. I wouldn’t trust it.

I’m gonna say the Griffin is a no go.

Doesn’t it require special spacers or something?

I think one has a crush washer and the other is shimmed.
But that shouldn’t matter for the blast shield.

Reason I asked, you mention the one was loose. I thought I read somewhere, each required their special bushing/washer.

The shield was loose, the brakes were perfectly rock solid.

I was referring to their shields in order to be universal with any brakes. Let me find the article.

From GA:

The Griffin QD Blast Shield is compatible with our line of SDQD mounts in 7.62 and 5.56mm, Including the Flash Comp, Muzzle Brake, Linear Comp, Compensating Flash Hider, and Tactical Compensator. It is also compatible with A2 Compensators that fall within the USGI A2 spec blueprinted dimensions. Although many companies manufacture A2 style compensators not all of them are dimensioned properly.

 

****Not Compatible with BCM, BCE or PWS muzzle devices. ****

Also, No good for us NJers that are pinned. Would require special stop on every gun too.

 

Indian Creek seems to have similar idea.

I should fit on any muzzle device that accepts a USGI BFA. 

This is getting difficult. Go back and read your message #12 and reread from there.You’ll see why I responded the way I did.
Did you even read my last post? 🤨[emoji848]

I did read your post. All of them.

The Griffin Blast Shield does not require a special stop on each gun. 

This blast shield is designed to attach to the same mounting lugs you would use to mount a USGI BFA.

Any gun that has a muzzle device with mil-spec BFA mounting grooves will accept this blast shield.

It is perfectly fine for us in NJ if you have muzzle devices that are compatible with USGI BFAs.

You do NOT need shims, washers, or any other kind of spacers or timing devices to mount this blast shield on properly installed compatible muzzle device.

The blast shield was loose because it did not fit properly on the Gen 2 PWS FSC552. It has nothing to do with special blast shield specific stoppers, shims, etc....

Was referring to these. Evidently I read it wrong and needed for silencer.

Btw, it says no go for pws unless I read it wrong again. My NJ comment was because you’d have to remove brake to put these on.

    • Just a heads-up for anyone who might also be in this situation. I joined USLS mid-April of 2022. Some time after renewing for 2023, I changed email providers, and dutifully reflected my new address on my account page. So, I have been anticipating renewal alerts at my new address, but those never arrived. I logged in to my account the other day, and was surprised to see that my subscription expired that same day. I went to my account main information page, confimed that my email address was correct, then went to the billing page, which showed my previous two payments, but which did not give me any apparent way to pay up for the new year. I requested support using the Customer Service form on the web site, but received no reply. Today I called their support number. Apparently changing the email address from my view of my account page did nothing to change the address that they use internally for billing purposes, including expiration notifications. Maybe they also use that address for replies to the support form, even if a different email address is entered there. Also, my account was set up to auto-renew and charge my credit card without my intervention, but that setting did not show on my account page in any obvious way. So, if you have USLS and have changed your email address since you last renewed, you might want to give them a call to ensure that they send renewal information to your correct address. The prospect of having legal coverage lapse while carrying in NJ was, for me, a less that confidence inspiring experience. I will note that the telephone-based customer service was excellent.
    • F*n imbeciles. They know damned well (or should) that, even if passed by the Colorado Senate and signed into law, virtually that entire load of crap is certain to fail Bruen/Heller scrutiny, and probably sooner, rather than later (SCOTUS). What a monumental waste of time (of course, how much can a dip$h*t's time be worth, anyway?) and energy. I passed through Colorado a few times in the 70s, and visited some clients there in the 80's & 90's, and, even by the end of that period, I had the impression that it was politically fairly conservative (with a few exceptions such as Aspen). WTF happened?
