OutdoorHub Staff 01.23.24
At this year’s SHOT Show, JK Armament unveiled their latest addition to the suppressor market, the JK G.O.A.T HF. Known for producing quality suppressors, JK Armament has taken a step further with the introduction of this new model tailored for those seeking a balance between noise cancellation and backpressure management.
The JK G.O.A.T HF surpasses the noise reduction of its predecessor, the JK SBRX, by 5 dB when fired on .223/5.56 platforms. This improvement comes alongside its high flow capabilities, which significantly cut down on backpressure. It’s rated to withstand the rigors of sustained fire, including full auto on 5.56 NATO calibers with barrel lengths as short as 7.5 inches.
A newly designed JK Taper Mount enhances compatibility with a broader range of ASR-spec muzzle devices. Moreover, the adoption of a refined G.O.A.T HF End Cap plays a pivotal role in minimizing muzzle flash and signature.
Constructed from sturdy 17-4 stainless steel and Grade 5 titanium, the G.O.A.T manages to strike a commendable balance between resilience and portability. Marketed as the premier suppressor for .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO firearms, it boasts of superior silence, optimal flow, and readiness for intense usage.
As a further testament to its versatility, the JK G.O.A.T HF is described as Mission Configurable. Users can modify the suppressor’s size and weight according to operational needs, ranging from a compact length of 3.3 inches and weight of 4.4 ounces, to a full configuration of 7 inches and 13.4 ounces for maximum noise suppression.
The complete package of the G.O.A.T includes:
- (1) JK 155 PRO XL Taper Mount
- (1) JK 155 PRO 2.5” Tube
- (1) JK 155 GOAT HD Rifle Baffle
- (4) JK 155 GOAT PRO Rifle Baffles
- (1) JK 155 PRO G.O.A.T HF End Cap
JK Armament’s G.O.A.T HF is a noteworthy addition to the marketplace, demonstrating the brand’s commitment to innovation and functionality in the suppressor industry. While at the event, I had the opportunity to examine the product firsthand and can report the build quality and design considerations that JK Armament is known for are clearly evident.
In closing, enthusiasts and professionals alike seem poised to welcome the G.O.A.T HF as a significant evolution in JK Armament’s suppressor lineup.
