The Q Half Nelson black suppressor is the direct thread, black version of the compact 7.62mm titanium can from Q (brand part no. SIL-HN-DT-762-B). Q built it as the shorter sibling of the Full Nelson, with the same direct thread philosophy and no separate mount to buy or lose. It threads straight onto the muzzle, which keeps the point of impact steady and adds very little length. Titanium holds the weight to 12.2 ounces, so it suits a hunting rifle, a precision build or a short .300 Blackout setup equally well.

Key Specifications

• The caliber is 7.62mm, a .30 caliber bore that suits .308 Winchester and 7.62 NATO rifles.
• The cartridges it is rated for are 7.62 NATO, .300 Blackout and .300 Winchester Magnum, which covers most .30 caliber hosts.
• Construction is titanium, a light and corrosion-resistant metal for the end of a rifle.
• The mount is direct thread, so it screws onto the muzzle with no separate mount or quick-attach parts.
• The thread is 5/8×24, the common pattern on .30 caliber and 6.5mm rifle muzzles.
• The threads are tapered to pair with Q or SIG tapered barrels, and the can also fits most 90-degree shouldered barrels.
• Weight is 12.2 ounces, light enough to keep a rifle balanced.
• Outer diameter is 1.75 inches, a standard width for a .30 caliber titanium can.
• The colorway is black, a low-glare look for a dark rifle build.
