Raptor
MANUAL
Thank you for choosing to add an AB Suppressor to your
firearms collection. Because we take pride in our products,
it excites us to know that you have taken the step to join
the AB family by adding one of our suppressors to your
collection. We hope you enjoy your new suppressor and we
hope to see you out there in the field or on the range.
Sincerely,
Brad Riley, Founder and CEO
RAPTOR OVERVIEW
The RAPTOR suppressor is built from 100% titanium alloy,
an extremely high-strength and low-weight material which
allows for better overall performance. The fully welded
construction of the RAPTOR further increases build
strength and durability, while its tubeless design allows for
maximum internal volume with no unduly added weight.
AB Spiral Technology significantly reduces the back
pressure created with each shot by keeping gases moving
away from the bore while extracting heat and energy. The
reduced pressure also creates a much lower tone, making
for a better shooting experience.
Interchangeable mounting systems and end caps allow
the RAPTOR Series to be used on multiple calibers and
platforms.
MOUNT TYPES
Flush Mount
When barrel diameter exceeds 1.00” or there is not any
unobstructed space behind the muzzle.
Standard REFLEX
Mount from 1.00”-5.00” in length with .800” ID
When the barrel diameter is .750” OD or less and there
is unobstructed space behind the muzzle and/or a
hand guard allowing a 1.650” OD REFLEX to fit inside.
Bull Barrel REFLEX
Mount from 1.00”- 5.00” in length with 1.050” ID
When the barrel diameter is 1” OD or less and there is
unobstructed space behind the muzzle and/or a hand
guard allowing a 1.650” OD REFLEX to fit inside.
Other than the mounting threads and adjoining shoulders, never
allow the REFLEX mount or suppressor to contact the barrel,
hand guard or shooting platform as this will affect accuracy.

INSTALLING YOUR
RAPTOR
After confirming that your firearm is unloaded and that the
chamber is clear, remove any existing muzzle device or thread
protector which may be present. Before attempting to install
your RAPTOR suppressor, please ensure that the mount,
end cap and caliber are all the correct size for use on the
host firearm. Please call us at 913-829-3400 if you have any
questions.
1. If using a REFLEX mount, align the threaded end of the
REFLEX with the threads of the barrel. Taking care not
to cross-thread, screw the REFLEX onto the barrel until
it is firmly secured (firm hand tight). Align the RAPTOR
suppressor with the REFLEX and firmly screw the
RAPTOR onto the REFLEX mount. Again, firm hand tight
only. LE/MIL, it is recommended to use thread locker.
2. If using a flush mount, align the threaded end of the
RAPTOR with the threads of the barrel. Taking care not
to cross-thread, screw the RAPTOR onto the barrel until
it is firmly secured (firm hand tight) and no additional
threading is visible.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Maintenance on the RAPTOR is typically limited.
While there are no specific intervals for cleaning,
we suggest that you clean your RAPTOR whenever
you clean your firearm. Threads should periodically
be cleaned using any standard gun cleaning solvent
and a nylon, brass or bronze brush to remove any
carbon build up. With a dry cloth, wipe all solvent
and loosened build up from the interior and threads
of the suppressor. The baffles and internal walls of
your RAPTOR do not need to be manually cleaned.
The pressure from supersonic rifle rounds will
break loose any larger carbon build-up or debris
within the spirals and flush them out the front of the
suppressor automatically when firing.
NEVER clean your suppressor while it is attached to a firearm.
