Ugh. I meant my MPX, not MCX.
Look here. They have a 13.5 mm left hand, is that the one you need?

OK, so I was getting confused in this tapered barrel thing on the MPX. I have a good friend who has several MPX's and cans to go with, so I called him. He is also a class 3 dealer and pretty much an expert all things suppressors.
He said you need the taper adaptor to give the can a 90 degree shoulder for the can to butt up against.
He recommends this one that John posted already.

You will also need an end cap with the 13.5 LH thread for the can. He did not recommend using a piston sleeve for some reason.
So you need both. welcome to the world of cans.
If you want to talk to my buddy directly, PM me and i will give you his contact. He will help you out.
ETA, it looks like the Rugged end cap and taper adaptor is in stock NOW, so buy them. The mounts/end caps go in and out of stock and can take months to come back in.
I bought the same a couple months ago. I figure I'll be getting it sometime in January. Don't forget to get a solid spacer if you plan to shoot it on fixed barrels (like rifles).
The only modern PCC I am aware of that requires a booster assembly is the LWRC SMG 45. So yes, if I understand your post correctly it is a problem and you need to stop doing that immediately. The booster with spring is not intended for use on a fixed barrel without the fixed barrel spacer taking place of the spring. You are creating unnecessary wear and tear on the can and will likely eventually get baffle strikes, which at best can tear up your can, at worst it could launch shrapnel in unsafe directions.I shoot mine on my 9 mm Stribog with out the solid spacer. It uses the booster that it can with. Is that a problem?
When shooting it on my VP9, it does not cycle, even when I use 147 gr rounds.
When using the shorter can only it is still pretty loud, off course less than without but not sneaky quiet like with the full can

Correct, Stribog is a fixed barrel PCC.The Stribog has a fixed barrel, correct? If so, using the piston with no fixed spacer is going to cause a baffle strike with any decently fast rate of fire. There are a number of videos on YouTube about this. You should check them out. The piston is meant to be used on pistols with tilting barrels. Using it on a fixed barrel causes the can to come out of alignment with the bore of the barrel, leading to catastrophic failure.
Did you order the 13.5x1 left hand Booster Piston:Thanks guys. I have shot less than 30 rounds through it with the Stribog and VP9. I am lucky I have not had a baffle strike yet.
The VP9 is a left handed tread so I had to order the 13.5 x 1 if I remember correctly. There is nothing you can change that setup. No booster spring. It just screws on.
I looked that the attachment page and will give them a calm tomorrow
Is Teflon tape good enough?
As a prophylactic? No.
That's why I love this forum. The wealth of personal experience is amazing.

Lol. I’ve never had a problem with LH threads backing off. Teflon tape sounds like a good idea! I’m going to throw a roll in my range bag.
