Possible to install a muzzle mount for a suppressor without modifying or replacing the handguard on this pistol? https://imgur.com/a/oZpGFIk |

 There's no avoiding removal of the handguard to put on a new muzzle device. Handguard modification or replacement will be dependant on the outer diameter of the suppressor you intend to use versus the inner diameter of the handguard, as it looks like it'll definately overhang anything attached to a muzzle device. |

Like said previously, there's no avoiding removal of the handguard to put on a new muzzle device. The reason is because you should clamp the barrel in a vise to remove the existing muzzle device. Some use an AR-15 Action Rod instead of clamping the barrel. I just made a barrel vise clamp using piece of 2x4 while action rods could be considered relatively expensive. Obviously if you intend to use that existing handguard, the suppressor needs to be smaller diameter. |
