Description
The Wolverine PBS-1 was built around AK-pattern rifles, but that doesn't mean it has to live on one gun. This 5/8×24 thread insert (WV206) drops into the rear of the suppressor and lets it thread onto most .308, 7.62mm, and .300 Blackout barrels, which covers a huge chunk of the bolt guns and AR-10 pattern rifles sitting in most safes. If you already own a Wolverine, this little piece of steel is one of the cheapest ways to get more mileage out of a tax stamp.
How the Wolverine Insert System Works
Dead Air designed the Wolverine with a removable threaded insert in the back of the can, so one suppressor can jump between host rifles with completely different thread patterns. Each insert pairs with a collar, and the good news here is that the 5/8×24 insert uses the standard M14 collar that already comes with the Wolverine. No extra collar to buy, no guesswork. Unscrew the old insert, drop this one in, and you're threading onto a .308 barrel in a couple of minutes. Dead Air's Wolverine wrench makes swaps easier if you plan on rotating between hosts often.
WV206 Fit and Finish
This insert is precision machined from alloy steel with a matte black finish that matches the rest of the Wolverine's no-nonsense look. It measures about 1.4 inches long and weighs next to nothing, so it adds no meaningful bulk to the setup. Alignment is what matters most with any suppressor mount, and the insert-and-collar arrangement keeps the bore lined up square with the barrel for consistent, repeatable mounting.
Rounding Out Your Wolverine Setup
Plenty of Wolverine owners keep a small stack of these inserts on hand, one for each thread pattern in the collection. Between the metric AK options and the standard 1/2×28 and 5/8×24 inserts, one can genuinely covers just about everything. If your lineup includes anything wearing 5/8×24 muzzle threads, this is the piece that ties it all together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a separate collar to use the WV206 thread insert?
No. The 5/8×24 insert works with the standard M14 collar that ships with every Wolverine PBS-1. Only the larger M24 and M26 inserts call for their own dedicated collars, so this one is ready to go with what you already have.
What rifles will my Wolverine fit with this insert installed?
The 5/8×24 thread pitch is the standard for most .308, 7.62mm, and .300 Blackout rifles, including the majority of AR-10 pattern guns and threaded bolt actions. If your barrel wears 5/8×24 right-hand threads, this insert lets the Wolverine screw right on.
How do I swap thread inserts on the Wolverine?
The insert sits in the rear of the suppressor and unthreads so a different pattern can go in its place. Dead Air makes a dedicated Wolverine wrench that holds the body and engages the insert sockets, which makes swaps quick and keeps you from marring anything. If you rotate the can between hosts regularly, the wrench is worth adding.
Will this insert work with suppressors other than the Wolverine?
No, this insert is made specifically for the Dead Air Wolverine PBS-1 and its collar system. It is not cross-compatible with other Dead Air models like the Sandman or Nomad lines, which use different mounting systems entirely.
