Description

The UTG MNT-16AD2-C Blank Firing Adapter converts AR-15 and M16 rifles for safe blank ammunition training without live rounds. This precision-engineered adapter enables realistic training scenarios while maintaining proper bolt cycling and ejection patterns.

What Makes This Different

Unlike basic blank adapters that simply block the barrel, the MNT-16AD2-C features a carefully calibrated gas restriction system that ensures reliable cycling with standard blank cartridges. The adapter maintains proper back-pressure for consistent bolt operation while preventing dangerous over-pressurization. CNC-machined construction delivers repeatable performance across thousands of training rounds.

Key Features

Precision-machined steel construction for consistent gas restriction
Compatible with 5.56/.223 AR-15 and M16 platform rifles
Standard 1/2-28 TPI threading for secure barrel attachment
Corrosion-resistant finish withstands extended training use
Compact 2.5-inch length adds minimal weight to muzzle
Tool-free installation and removal for quick configuration changes
Designed for standard NATO blank ammunition specifications

Training instructors rely on this adapter for force-on-force exercises, close-quarters battle drills, and scenario-based training where live ammunition poses safety risks. The adapter maintains realistic recoil impulse and cycling characteristics essential for muscle memory development. Military and law enforcement units use blank firing adapters extensively for urban warfare training and building clearing exercises.
