beyond its intended operating temperature range. If refinishing is

desired, rub the old loosened, heat affected paint off with rubbingalcohol and a clean rag and apply the finish of your choice. We

recommend Norrell Moly, or 1200F matte black grill paint. Use a

light coat with the silencer standing on the rear cap. Painting the

mount bore or threads will result in tolerance interference, renderingthe unit inoperable till interfering coating thickness is removed.

Painting the thread shoulder engagement area is not advised as

differential coating thickness may reduce precision of mountingalignment.

CAUTION: The BEAST Silencer combats the Impulse noise at the

muzzle of your weapon and cannot account for the actions 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.

followed by 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 BEAST

suppressor is rated for 26 barreled .338LM and all lesser calibers.

This includes but is not limited to 26 .338RUM, 24.300WIN MAG,20 30.06, 14.5 .308 Winchester, 6.5x47mm Lapua, and.243Winchester, as well as 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 barrel threads after every use to ensure mating surfaces are free of

corrosion, as well as copper and carbon fouling. Failure to clean themounting system or to remove your suppressor for storage can result

in your suppressor becoming stuck to the muzzle device on yourweapon. Rod the bore with a nylon brush coated with CLP or yourfavorite cleaner / lubricant / corrosion inhibitor. Spray a light coat of

WD-40 or Rem Oil into the suppressor body for storage. Give the

suppressor body and threads a light coat of oil, and wipe dry.

WD-40 may cause the suppressor to smoke upon firing. Rem-oil is

less likely to cause this to occur. If you use more than a light coat of

oil, shake out the excess prior to firing. Fluid is an incompressibleliquid- a substantial amount of liquid will raise operating pressures

with potentially dangerous results. Do not use grease or water in your

suppressor. Oil is for corrosion prevention, not sound attenuation.4130 steel is very strong and is very similar to military firearm barrel

steel. The Beast suppressor was designed with approximately 40%

thicker components than required. There is no need to be overly

paranoid about any internal corrosion that may occur during normaluse. Many Maxim suppressors built nearly 100 years ago of thin,

chrome moly steel are in working order today.

Finish: High rate of fire operation at temperatures exceeding 1100F

after firing more than 110 rounds in 1-3 minutes, may damage thefinish which is Norrell Moly coating and has a minimum thermal

breakaway of 1000F. If you witness the finish baking off of your

BEAST suppressor, that is an indicator that you are operating it

Thankyou for purchasing a BEAST sound suppressor. We appreciate

your business. Please read these instructions carefully prior to

use.

Compatibility: The BEAST suppressor comes in two thread pitch

configurations, 18x1mm Metric [.630 OAL] (TRG-42/TRG-22) and5/8x24 [.630 OAL].

Safety Considerations! Unload your weapon in accordance with itsmanufacturers 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 BEAST silencer: Grasp the silencer and carefully

place the suppressor over the compatible muzzle thread. The silencer

will bottom out when the threads on the suppressors rear mounttouch the threads on the BEAST 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 itclockwise until it is fully tightened. Tighten the suppressor firmly.

Under ideal circumstances, with the butt of the rifle between your

feet, tighten the suppressor as tightly as you can with a two handedgrip on the suppressor body.

Confirm alignment! Visually confirm alignment on every untested

weapon prior to first use by placing white paper in the breach, andlooking 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 BEAST is

constructed of TIG welded 4130 chrome moly steel which is

substantially stronger than stainless steel, for high pressureconditions. Your BEAST suppressor is extremely strong and durable;

however care should be taken to prolong service life. The

recommended maximum rate of fire for the .338LM and Magnumclass 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],
