Once installed and aligned, a set screw positively retains the adapter. Their M1A SOCOM muzzle thread adapter uses two separate components and registers directly onto the barrel threads and thread shoulder, thus ensuring proper alignment. The Delta P Design muzzle adaptor allows you to thread on an appropriately sized suppressor. They have created an extremely high-quality muzzle adapter for the family of M1A rifles. The task of attaching the actual suppressor to the M1A was made quite simple by the fantastic people over at Delta P Design. Now that we know our two hurdles, we can talk about the items I used to get this beast purring. When properly adjusted, the M1A rifle can reliably run a full-size sound suppressor. Rightly so, as they are slowing down the gasses leaving the barrel, which in turn suppresses the report of the round being fired. This is problematic for suppressors as they create a lot of back pressure. The M1A was tuned specifically for reliability and accuracy, not adjustability. The M1A vents gas out of a port near the muzzle that faces downwards, bleeding off excess gas as the bullet leaves the barrel. The author demonstrates how the M1A can be suppressed with the use of a Delta P Design muzzle adaptor. The gas system is fixed and non-adjustable, and the muzzle threads - or lack thereof - are not standard 5/8×24, which is what is needed for most muzzle devices.

The M1A line was never designed from the factory to be suppressed.
