The XDS or Xtreme Duty Supressor is a thread mounted silencer for 5.56mm rifles and machine guns. It delivers outstanding sound suppression utilizing Coastal Guns annular baffle designs. It is so effective it can be used safely and comfortably without hearing protection. Using the standard Colt style M-4 weapons system, the XDS gives a sound signature similar to a 22lr. The XDS uses a thread on interface mounting system that will not cause the adverse accuracy problems commonly associated with the “quick detach” silencers systems. Like its big brother the LRT (7.62mm), the XDS has proven itself by improving the host weapons accuracy by dampening barrel harmonics. The XDS is constructed entirely of 4130 chrome molly steel and is rated for semi auto and limited full auto fire. The entrance cap has been laser welded to the main tube body but the exit end cap can be removed so the unit can be disassembled for cleaning.
