Griffin Armament Releases The DUAL-LOK HRT-556 G2 Suppressor
The original Griffin Armament HRT-556, the shortest addition to the DUAL-LOK family of suppressors, was designed for elite hostage rescue teams operating in demanding and often close-quarter environments where everything is on the table, size, maximum sound reduction, reduced flash signature, and rugged durability. The HRT-556 patent pending DUAL-LOK system also addressed the need for a robust and reliable wear-free quick detach mounting solution with maximum strength while maintaining a minimum point of impact shift.
This all sounds great, but with ever-evolving and exacting special forces contract requirements, Griffin Armament went back to the drawing board with a multi-stage R&D program to develop a new generation with notable design improvements, the DUAL-LOK HRT-556 G2.
So what’s new? The latest HRT-556 G2 suppressor features an improved low backpressure ECO-FLOW baffle stack, reducing the contamination of breathing air in the operator’s face. This ECO-FLOW system is also responsible for targeting a reduction in cyclic rate to maintain the reliability and longevity of parts in the host firearm operating system with the introduction of the suppressor. Additionally, the thickness of the baffle walls has been increased slightly, maximizing durability during long strings of rapid-fire with minimal addition to size and weight.
The latest DUAL-LOK HRT-556 G2 suppressor features an improved low-profile flash hider endcap working in conjunction with the ECO-FLOW baffle stack to drop backpressure and significantly reduce flash signature.
“Overall, we feel this program was a success and are proud to introduce the HRT-556 G2 suppressor to the public,” says Benjamin Kubek, Director of Marketing for Griffin Armament.
DUAL-LOK suppressors are machined in Griffin Armament’s Watertown, Wisconsin facility by freedom-loving Americans. The DUAL-LOK HRT-556 G2 is available in black and FDE with an MSRP of $994.95.
I’m really looking forward to trying out the HRT-556 G2 and am excited to see more new and useful releases from Griffin Armament aimed at durability and functionality with no frills attached. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
