PRE-ORDER Guidance
As you are probably aware, recent updates to ATF's eForm approval process has resulted in drastically improved turnaround times. While this is certainly a positive change, it has also had a predictable impact on suppressor inventory across the industry.
With that in mind, if you know you want a particular suppressor (or three) and it isn't in stock, your best bet is to place a "PRE-ORDER" so that we can purchase your desired suppressor the moment it becomes available from our distributors. If you wait until it shows in-stock on the website, you might miss your opportunity. PRE-ORDER helps us seek out and purchase what you are looking for. This is true whether you buy from us or someone else.
Thank you for considering Longbow Arms, we hope to earn your business.

Reflex mounting system
A Reflex mount allows the suppressor to take advantage of the area around the barrel (otherwise unused) to significantly increase the blast chamber volume, without adding additional length to the weapon system.For example, a 3 inch standard Reflex mount increases the blast chamber’s total volume to 7.26 cubic inches, which is equal to 243% of a flush mount’s respective volume.
Advantages of a reflex
-Reduced sound pressure
-Deeper tone/superior harmonics
-Reduced flash signature
-Reduced blow-back out of the ejection port
-Reduced bolt unlock speed/cyclic rate of machine guns
-Reduced wear & tear on the operating system and key components of the host firearm
-Floating weight over the barrel decreased barrel whip, for more repeatedly precise and accurate shots
-Acts as a sacrificial baffle, increasing longevity of the spirals by taking the brunt of the blast
The Blast Chamber
The blast chamber plays a key role in the design of a suppressor, having a direct effect on a multitude of performance variables like accuracy, back-pressure, dB reduction and tone. The blast chamber is defined by the area behind the blast baffle/spiral where the combustive gasses first enter when exiting the muzzle. With an industry-standard flush mount this area is 2.99 cubic inches.
