Gemtech®, a leader within the suppressor industry, has announced two new suppressor models for 2023, plus a complete upper assembly for the AR-type rifle.
The new ABYSSTM 5.56 suppressor is built on five of Gemtech’s patent-pending technologies. Its design allows rounds to pass through while gasses expand into the baffle spaces, lowering pressure, minimizing muzzle flash, and significantly reducing decibels. The Abyss also lessens back pressure by routing gasses forward, away from the shooter for increased comfort and reliability.
Constructed from stainless steel and titanium components, this suppressor is designed with greater wall thickness and can easily be mounted to barrels through direct thread standards or through Gemtech’s proprietary flash hider, the ETMTM (Elite Taper Mount). The Abyss offers full-size suppression with compact, lightweight convenience and is fully rated for both short barrels and full-auto operation.
Gemtech is also introducing the all-new NEUTRONTM 7.62 suppressor.
Designed with four of Gemtech’s patent-pending technologies, this 6.6-inch suppressor is durable enough to withstand full-automatic applications while, at the same time, light enough for extended all-day use, according to a company announcement. The Neutron is compatible with HUB 1.375-24 thread standards, accepts a wide range of mounting hardware, and comes with Gemtech’s ETMTM (Elite Taper Mount), which provides precise alignment and helps resist carbon lock. It has a tubeless construction that helps eliminate unneeded weight and a high-efficiency baffle design for superior sound reduction.
The company has also announced the mid-length GVACTM Upper Receiver Group.
The Gemtech GVAC is a complete upper assembly optimized for suppressed shooting, the company said. With its patented design, the GVAC barrel and gas system significantly reduces gas blowback and mitigates recoil in order to enhance the shooting experience and maximize performance. Its newly designed 16.1-inch barrel profile transfers weight back toward the chamber to improve control and is fitted for Gemtech’s proprietary flash hider, the ETMTM (Elite Taper Mount), which provides precise alignment and helps resist carbon lock.
The GVAC has a self-regulating Direct-Impingement system that includes an additional chamber to collect and counter the gases that can add recoil when shooting suppressed. The assembly is protected inside a 15-inch lightweight handguard that features a Picatinny top rail and 7-sided M-LOK® channels for the use of compatible accessories.
