The Dead Air Wolverine AK suppressor is Dead Air’s purpose-built design for the Kalashnikov platform, supplied here with a 14×1 LH thread insert (Dead Air part no. Wolverine). Its mount works with the rifle’s existing front sight block pin, which helps prevent loosening under a heavy firing schedule. The body is 7.4 inches long, built from a 17-4 PH stainless steel welded core and a stainless steel tube, and it is rated full-auto with no barrel restrictions. A detachable front cap can be swapped quickly. It is made for AKs and other Combloc rifles that use a 14×1 left-hand muzzle thread.
