Replace L.I.D. body on GemTech Tundra 9mm for 3-Lug Mount
Posted: Wed Sep 06, 2017 6:40 am
I own a GemTech Tundra 9mm suppressor that I am interested in using with an HK style 3-lug mount. This will be on a 9mm AR, semi-auto only.
To do this, I need to find a compatible 3-lug mount. I've seen several references to the AAC 3-lug adapter being compatible. However, I've been unsuccessful in finding information from anyone who has actually used this configuration. I contacted AAC and they declined to commend on compatibility of their components on the Gemtech unit. That's understandable and what I expected them to say, but I had to ask.
I think another option may be GemTech's 3-lug mount for their Multimount can. The Tundra and the Multimount appear to be very similar. The Multimount L.I.D. looks like the Tundra's to me. Unfortunately, I've seen no references to the MM adapters working on the Tundra. I contacted GemTech and they told me that the Tundra's L.I.D. is permanently attached and its configuration can't be changed.
To muddy the water, however, I found this post from user Captdreifus in which he posts a photo of his Tundra disassembled, with the L.I.D. body removed. The thread is about jailbreaking, but he does not mention doing anything unusual to get his Tundra taken down to this state.

I'd appreciate anyone's advice on how to remove the L.I.D. body from my Tundra.
I'd also appreciate any information on users' experience with GemTech or third party 3-lug adapters that may work with my Tundra.
Thanks!
