Overview

This is the KRYON HEX shield on Guntology's NEXUS barrel mount, the configuration Guntology sells for fast-attach suppressors that do not use the 1.375x24 HUB interface. The shield is the same CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum tube as the HUB version, vented with an open hex pattern around its full circumference and standing off from the suppressor body rather than wrapping it.

NEXUS is a two-piece, rifle-side mount. A low-profile caliber insert goes on the barrel behind your existing QD muzzle device and is captured when the muzzle device is torqued. The NEXUS adapter carries the shield and locks onto that insert with a ratchet mechanism, so the suppressor still mounts and dismounts normally, and the adapter and shield can move to any other rifle fitted with an insert. Guntology lists the adapter at under 0.8 oz and 0.20" of added length, and NEXUS configurations ship with a Lock Ring.

Order it for a 5.56/.223 host with 1/2x28 threads or a .308/7.62 host with 5/8x24 threads. NEXUS is designed around a 90-degree barrel shoulder; a tapered-shoulder barrel needs a taper adapter and a muzzle device that seats on the resulting square shoulder. Shield length (5" to 8") is set from the suppressor brand and model on the order form, backed by Guntology's fit guarantee and lifetime warranty.

Key Features

  • CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum shield, no fabric or consumable materials
  • Open hex-pattern venting around the full circumference
  • Barrel-side NEXUS mount for non-HUB QD suppressors
  • Caliber insert stays on the rifle; adapter and shield lock on with a ratchet
  • 1/2x28 (5.56/.223) and 5/8x24 (.308/7.62) host options
  • Ships with a Lock Ring
  • 5", 6", 7" and 8" shield lengths; optional 0.5" and 1.5" extensions

Pros

  • +Works with QD cans that lack a HUB rear interface
  • +Suppressor mounts and dismounts normally without touching the shield
  • +Adapter and shield move between rifles that each carry a caliber insert
  • +Rigid vented aluminum instead of a wrap that holds heat against the can

Cons

  • −$90 more than the HUB configuration
  • −Needs a 90-degree barrel shoulder and exposed barrel behind the muzzle device
  • −Configured per suppressor and host rather than universal
