The DUAL-LOK 5 AM Silencer is a managed backpressure 5.56mm suppressor constructed from Griffin’s proprietary Nickel 625X powder alloy utilizing state-of-the-art DMLS additive manufacturing technology. This is a major evolution to the DUAL-LOK family of suppressors which were historically manufactured from traditionally manufactured components. These silencers are built on Griffin’s rock-solid DUAL-LOK mounting system which has become one of the most trusted active-locking mounting systems preferred by law enforcement and military professionals. This advanced mount provides exceptional accuracy with minimal and repeatable POI shift, and completely eliminates the fear of unintended loosening during prolonged courses of fire. It is free of wear-prone ratcheting parts, offering a lifetime of trouble-free use. The proprietary, patent-pending Nickel 625X alloy showed in testing a ~68% increase in yield and tensile strength over additively manufactured INCONEL 625 at 1200°F. INCONEL 625 is a commonly used suppressor alloy in current next generation military suppressors. Additively manufactured Nickel 625X™ is stronger at 1472°F than INCONEL 625 cold formed sheet material at room temperature. INCONEL 625 cold formed material provided adequate service in the last several decades of military suppressors.
