Abstract
Methods and apparatus for fastening a silencer on to a firearm are disclosed. In an example, a mounting device is disclosed which includes a housing adapted to be mounted to the barrel such that the housing is fixed against rotation relative to the barrel. It also includes a silencer holder rotatably mounted to the housing; and a fastener to secure the silencer holder to the housing at an angular position that substantially maximizes the firing accuracy of the firearm.
