In an exciting turn of events for clone rifle fans, Griffin Armament has a range of KAC-compatible silencers coming soon. The new Military GATE-LOK (MGL) suppressors come in three sizes for compatibility with various rifle configurations. Let’s look at the available models.

Silencers @ TFB:

• SILENCER SATURDAY #322: Of Acorns, Crime, and Silencers
• TFB Behind The Gun Podcast #109: The Return of Brandon Maddox of Silencer Central
• POTD: SilencerCo Salvo 12 – The Shotgun Suppressor
• New Rugged Suppressors SurgeX Rifle Silencer
• Silencer Central Introduces New BANISH Speed K Silencer

Like the Knights Armament suppressors that inspired them, the MGL series mounts to the gas block of the rifle. This necessitates specific gas block and barrel lengths for compatibility rather than just a threaded muzzle. Griffin specifically calls out the M-110, Mk11 Mod 0, and 16-inch ECC as compatible models, as well as Mk13 clones.

There are three models in the MGL line:

MGL-110

MGL-11

From the manufacturer:

The Military GATE-LOK™ (MGL™) series of suppressors were designed to offer veterans and enthusiasts an ability to bring sound suppression / the suppressor feature set of the host systems to the packaged system. The MK11 Mod 0, the M110, and to a lesser extent the 16” carbines built with two pin suppressor mountable gas blocks, exist in greater numbers than the available market suppressors to support them with. The MGL™ suppressors are a quality built compatible suppressor product piggybacking on the PSR and HRT development programs.

The MGL™ series brings the PSR G2 baffle system and most developed, vented flash hider cap to a two pin gas block compatible mount with a Griffin Armament developed secondary locking mechanism. 17-4 high strength material, laser welding, and advanced design afford substantial weight savings vs the outstanding original equipment suppressors these systems were originally designed / fielded with.

Due to the nature of these products – the extreme length, limited production volumes, and the high tolerance manufacturing required to make these suppressors – they require more than double the machining time of our standard sound suppressors.
