Rearden Manufacturing Group Llc Icarus Blast Diffuser Fde
The Rearden Icarus Blast Diffuser in FDE is a specialized muzzle accessory engineered to redirect blast and concussion energy downrange while protecting your Rearden muzzle device when running unsuppressed. Built from 17-4 stainless steel with your choice of nitride or PVD coating, the Icarus threads over any Plan B-style muzzle device and serves double duty as both a blast management tool and a clean thread protector—eliminating the need for a separate cover when you're between suppressor sessions or testing loads at the range.
If you run a Rearden suppressor or Plan B-compatible muzzle brake, the Icarus slots into your setup without requiring additional adapters or proprietary hardware. The removable end cap (shipped Rockset tight) lets you customize appearance or swap configurations to suit your build. At just 4.5 ounces and 3.3 inches long, it adds minimal length and weight—practical for hunters, 3-gun competitors, and shooters who value system flexibility without the bulk of a permanent flash hider.
Installation is straightforward: thread the Icarus over your muzzle device using an alignment rod to ensure concentricity, keeping torque to a maximum of 10 foot-pounds. The tool works with projectiles .355 inches in diameter or smaller, making it ideal for 9mm platforms and other compact-bore calibers. This is not a flash hider and carries no flash-reduction capability—it's purely a blast director and thread guard, designed for shooters who want concussion management without the aesthetic or functional constraints of dedicated flash control.
