and apply the finish of your choice. We recommend Norrell Moly. Use a light coat with the silencer standing on the rear cap. Painting the mount, mount bore, or threads may result in tolerance interference or poor alignment which is a potential source of suppressor damage. Do not paint the mating surfaces. CAUTION: The Precision Hunter Suppressor combats the Impulse noise at the muzzle of your weapon and cannot account for the action’s associated operating noise which will vary by weapon type and barrel length. For the highest level of hearing protection, wear hearing protection at all times while using your silencer.
TM- PHS 7.62mm Precision Hunter Suppressor
MILITARY USE: In operational environments where concealment is paramount, first round flash can be mitigated by firing the weapon with the suppressor mounted prior to an operation and immediately taping the muzzle aperture of the suppressor to trap combustion gases (oxygen free environment). Infrared heat signature can be mitigated by using a suppressor cover such as the SUPCOV. For optimal concealment less than 30 rounds should be fired. Covers insulate, so they add thermal stress to the suppressor, reducing cooling. Reduced cooling reduces tolerable maximum ROF, so covers are not recommended unless needed to reduce thermal signature or mirage (with scoped rifles) or to mitigate risk of burns during transition drills.

Thankyou for purchasing a Precision Hunter sound suppressor. We appreciate your business. Please read these instructions carefully prior to use. Compatibility: The Precision Hunter suppressor is adaptable to 1/2x28 (5.56mm), 5/8x24 (6.5mm and 7.62mm), 18x1mm (7.62mm), 3/4x24 (6.5mm and 7.62mm) weapons through the use of an appropriate muzzle brake suppressor attachable (MBS-A) mount. Safety Considerations! Unload your weapon in accordance with its manufacturer’s user manual prior to mounting the sound suppressor. Remove the bolt or bolt carrier group and charging handle from the weapon prior to inspection of the mounting alignment. To mount your Precision Hunter silencer: Grasp the silencer and carefully place the suppressor over the host weapons installed MBS-A mount. The silencer will bottom out when the threads on the MBS-A touch the threads on the Precision Hunter muzzle accessory. When this occurs, engage the thread by rotating counter clockwise until you feel the starting point of the thread. Next tighten the silencer by rotating it clockwise until it is fully tightened. Tighten the suppressor firmly, but do not over-tighten as this can make the suppressor difficult to remove after use. Confirm alignment! Visually confirm alignment on every untested weapon prior to first use by placing white paper in the breach, and looking through the suppressor bore, parallel to the walls of the barrel bore on all sides, comparing clearance to elements of the suppressor bore. If alignment does not appear to be right, or if you desire the most minimal POI shift and maximum safety from baffle strikes or other issues, send your barrel to ADCO firearms in Ohio for barrel threading. www.adcofirearms.com Recommended rate of fire considerations: The Precision Hunter is constructed of TIG welded, heat treated, high strength stainless steel, which is substantially stronger than typical stainless steel, for high pressure conditions. Your Precision Hunter suppressor is extremely strong and durable; however care should be taken to prolong service life. The recommended maximum rate of fire for Magnum class calibers is bolt action operated weapon use only, as rapidly as you can load the weapon. The rate of fire for self-loading calibers is no more than 60 rounds on full auto [7.62x51mm and 5.56mm], followed by Page 2
14 rounds per minute sustained. Do not quench/cool your heated silencer with water, ice, or snow. Quenching metals will em-brittle them, can warp parts, and may damage or destroy your silencer. Allow your silencer to air cool. Calibers and Minimum Length Barrel Ratings: The Precision Hunter 7.62mm suppressor is rated for 22” barreled .300 Winchester Magnum and all lesser calibers. This includes but is not limited to 22”.300WIN MAG, 18” 30.06, 14.5” .308 Winchester, 300 BLK down to 8.5”, 6.5x47mm Lapua, .243Winchester, and 5.56mm down to 10.5”. In all cases, longer barrels will provide maximum suppressor wear life. Maintenance: Clean and protect your suppressors mounting system and MBS-A mount after every use to ensure mating surfaces are free of corrosion, as well as copper and carbon fouling. Failure to clean the mounting system or to remove your suppressor for storage after use can result in your suppressor becoming stuck to the muzzle device on your weapon. Rod the bore with a brass 9mm or .40 caliber bore brush coated with your favorite cleaner / lubricant / corrosion inhibitor. Spraying a light coat of WD-40 or Rem Oil into the suppressor body for storage will displace moisture and further reduce the minimal risk of corrosion. Give the suppressor body and threads a light coat of oil, and wipe dry. In operational environments, the suppressor can be re-mounted after cleaning to protect threads from damage, or the MBS-A thread protector can be used for that purpose. If for some reason you use an excessive amount of oil, drain the excess prior to firing. Fluids are incompressible- a substantial amount of fluid will raise operating pressures with potentially dangerous results. Do not use grease or water in your suppressor. Finish: High rate of fire operation at temperatures exceeding 1100F after firing more than 110 rounds in 1-3 minutes, may damage the finish which is Norrell Moly coating and has a minimum thermal breakaway of 1000F. If you witness the finish baking off of your Precision Hunter suppressor, that is an indicator that you are approaching the threshold of abusive use and increasing the likelyhood of suppressor damage. If refinishing is desired, rub the old loosened, heat affected paint off with rubbing alcohol and a clean rag Page 3
