The Faxon Titanium Direct Thread to Hub Adapter in M18x1.5 is an ultra lightweight precision suppressor adapter for AR-10 and metric threaded rifles. It converts an M18x1.5 threaded barrel to the industry standard 1.375×24 TPI HUB interface used by most modern suppressors, which opens up your can options without rebarreling. Machined from aerospace grade titanium, it does that job while adding almost no weight to the front of the rifle.
What the Faxon Titanium Direct Thread Adapter Solves
Thread standards are the quiet frustration of suppressor ownership. A barrel cut in a metric pitch and a suppressor built around a HUB mount do not talk to each other, and the usual answers are a new barrel or a new can, both of which are expensive.
An adapter is the cheap, correct solution. It provides a rock solid suppressor mounting point while minimizing front end weight, and it lets a single suppressor move between hosts with different threading.
It is perfect for .308 Winchester, 300 Blackout, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 6.5 Grendel applications, which covers most of what serious large frame and precision rifle shooters are running today.
Key Features

- Minimal front end weight compared with steel adapters
- Suited to .308 WIN, 300 BLK, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 6.5 Grendel rifles
Faxon Titanium Direct Thread Concentricity and Why Alignment Is Everything
Concentricity is not a marketing word on a suppressor adapter, it is a safety requirement. Every part between the bore and the suppressor baffle stack has to be perfectly coaxial, because a few thousandths of misalignment at the muzzle becomes a baffle strike downrange. The Faxon Titanium Direct Thread adapter is machined for precise thread concentricity specifically to protect that alignment.
Titanium is the right material for the job. It has an excellent strength to weight ratio and it holds its shape and alignment under extended high temperature use, which matters because suppressor mounts run hot and repeated heat cycling is what causes cheaper materials to shift. Saving weight at the muzzle also preserves the balance of a precision rifle, where a nose heavy setup makes positional shooting harder.
Practical Use, Care, and Installation
Verify your barrel threads first. M18x1.5 is a metric pitch used on many large frame and precision barrels, and it is not interchangeable with five eighths by 24 or any imperial pitch. A thread gauge or the barrel manufacturer’s specification is the only reliable way to confirm.
Install it clean and torque it properly. Degrease the barrel threads and the adapter, seat the adapter fully against the shoulder, and torque to the manufacturer’s specification. Then check alignment with an alignment rod before you ever fire a round through the suppressor. That five minute check is what stands between you and a destroyed can.
Titanium and steel can gall under heat, so apply an appropriate high temperature anti seize on the threads if the manufacturer recommends it, and inspect the interface periodically. Clean carbon from the HUB threads so the suppressor keeps seating fully. Round out the build with the muzzle devices and barrels in our parts and upgrades category.
Why It Is Worth Buying
Suppressor accessories are one of the few places where cutting corners has consequences you cannot undo. A precision machined titanium adapter costs a fraction of the suppressor it protects, and it buys you the freedom to move that suppressor across hosts that would otherwise be incompatible.
Ultra lightweight, precisely machined, and built for the rifles serious shooters actually run. Ships direct to your door, no FFL required.
