WARNING! Failure to follow the instructions and recommendations
set forth in this manual can create a potentially dangerous situation
for the user and surrounding personnel, and possibly leading to prop-
erty damage, personal injury and/or death.
WARNING! Never install or remove a silencer on or from a host
firearm that you have not verified to be completely empty and ren-
dered safe. Installing or removing a silencer on or from a loaded
firearm may lead to property damage, personal injury and/or death.
WARNING! Always wear eye protection when discharging a firearm
equipped with a silencer. Discharging a firearm without wearing eye
protection may lead to property damage, personal injury and/or
death.
WARNING! The barrel threads must be properly machined to allow
proper attachment of an AVIATOR 2 The use of an improperly
threaded barrel with a silencer may lead to property damage, per-
sonal injury and/or death. Barrel threading guides are available on
the AAC website at www.advanced-armament.com. For further clari-
fication on muzzle threads, contact ADVANCED ARMAMENT CORP.,
LLC at 770-925-9988.
WARNING! The bore through your AVIATOR 2 must align concentri-
cally with the bore of the barrel to which it is mounted. A mismatch
of the silencer and barrel bore may lead to property damage, personal
injury and/or death.
WARNING! Only fire 22 Long Rifle ammunition through your AVIATOR
2. The use of ammunition other than 22 Long rifle may lead to prop-
erty damage, personal injury and/or death.
CAUTION! Silencers can become extremely hot while the host firearm
is being discharged. After shooting, allow the silencer to reach ambi-
ent temperature before attempting to remove the silencer from the
firearm. If removal is necessary prior to the silencer cooling to ambi-
ent and/or the tightness of the silencer on the host firearm barrel
must be verified, the use of heat-resistant gloves is mandatory. Han-
dling a hot silencer without heat resistant gloves may lead to skin
burns and/or personal injury.
WARNING! Discharging silenced firearms can make airborne and/or
deposit lead and other substances around, on and in the silencer.
Using, handling and/or cleaning a silencer may result in exposure to
lead and other substances known to cause birth defects, reproductive
harm, cancer and other serious physical injury. Have adequate ven-
tilation at all times and wash hands thoroughly after exposure.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of a light-weight, high per-
formance silencer for 22 LR pistols, rifles, and machineguns. The AVIA-
TOR 2 offers performance on par with silencers costing considerably more,
making the AVIATOR 2 an exceptional value. The light weight of the AVI-
ATOR 2 (4 oz) practically disappears on a host firearm, with minimal effect
on the host firearm’s handling dynamics. Please take a few minutes to read
through this technical manual to familiarize yourself with the details regard-
ing the proper use and maintenance of your new AVIATOR 2 22 LR si-
lencer.
