Noob Questions About Suppressors (OKC Area)

Yep. If I had it to do over I would not buy a 5.56 can.

But the versatility is phenomenal. Having a can you can use on a bunch of smaller calibers is great.

 

[Gary@CCWsafe]

The only down side is size. However not everyone needs a 338 can. The 338 Sig next to my AAC M4-1000 5.56 can. It is about 2" longer and maybe 20% bigger around.

Haven’t got it yet, but I did get a .30 cal can. It will get much more use on .243WSSM AND 5.56 rifles. I ordered the direct mount so I wouldn’t have to spend so much on muzzle adapters.

 

[Gary@CCWsafe]

With the muzzle devices you can get devices in different thread pitch. With direct you can only run on barrels threaded to the same pitch. Not sure what the 243 WSSM is threaded but most 30's and 6.5 are 5/8 x 24 and 5.56 is 1/2x28.

That was my rationale.

This can has an adapter that changes out on the can for the 5/8 X24 or the 1/2 X 28 thread.

You have it covered then

So 5/8"x24 and 1/2"x28 are the mainstream for most threaded barrels?

 

[Gary@CCWsafe]

Everything I have is one of those 2.

Good to know, thanks.
