Features

The SureFire Warden Direct Thread Blast Regulator is engineered to direct the concussive blast of the fired round forward of the weapon system, without venting gas to the side like standard muzzle brakes. This feature helps in reducing the overpressure felt by others immediately to the left and/or right of the shooter’s firing position. Additionally, it limits any dust signature from the weapon when fired from a prone position. The Warden enhances the refined appearance of any weapon with a 1/2-28 or 5/8-24 threaded barrel, protecting the barrel’s exposed threads from damage or fouling in lieu of a flash hider or muzzle brake.

Unlike sound suppressors, the Warden is not considered a National Firearms Act (NFA) device and is available for purchase wherever SureFire products are sold. This means it is not subject to the same restrictions as suppressors. The Warden is designed to be compact and lightweight, minimizing its effect on weapon handling characteristics.

The Warden mounts quickly and easily to any SureFire SOCOM Fast-Attach® 5.56 or 7.62 muzzle device through the same patented system found on SureFire SOCOM Fast-Attach® Series suppressors. It is precision-machined from rugged stainless steel, heat treated, and coated with a durable Cerakote finish. This finish maintains the look of the product while providing added durability.

Advantages

• Maintenance: The Cerakote finish reduces the need for frequent maintenance.
• Performance: The Warden’s design ensures a refined shooting experience, minimizing overpressure and dust signatures.
• Compatibility: It is compatible with SureFire SOCOM Fast-Attach® 5.56 or 7.62 muzzle devices.
• Durability: The stainless steel construction and Cerakote finish ensure long-term reliability.

Practical Use

The Warden is particularly beneficial for shooters who own short-barreled rifles (SBRs) or AR pistols and do not shoot with a suppressor full time. When shooting next to others without the Warden, the concussive blast can be quite noticeable. However, with the Warden installed, this blast is directed forward, providing a significant difference in the shooting experience.

Conclusion

The SureFire Warden Direct Thread Blast Regulator for 5.56mm is a valuable accessory for any shooter looking to enhance their weapon’s performance and reduce the impact on those around them. Its unique design and durable construction make it a reliable choice for various shooting applications. By directing the blast forward, it minimizes overpressure and dust signatures, providing a refined shooting experience.
