Has anyone found or designed something for the 1/2 X 28 thread mount cans that enables you to mount your supressor without having to wrench off your F/H? I noticed the Jet supressor's design but it's like 5/8 X 28, besides that, the end of the F/H would jam against the first baffle.
I'm sick of the tedium involved in this. I should've bought a QD model.  And yes, I contacted Gem-Tech and asked if they could modify it but they said I was S.O.L.
For the smart-aleks: I HAVE heard of a thread protector, I want to keep the F/H though. I'm pretty sure I'm  , but figured it was worth a shot.

My other suggestion would be to SBR your AR15, then you could leave it attached, and retain the 16" overall length of the barrel. It's way cheaper than buying another can. |

I know how you feel. I want to get a .22lr suppressor to use on my AR when I shoot it with the .22lr conversion...but I don't want to wrench off my FH that my HALO attaches to just to use the .22lr. I also don't want to shoot .22lr through my HALO. You know, if you fire .22lr through a 5.56 can, it will "clean" itself once you fire another 100 rds. of 5.56. That's what Kelly @ Gem-Tech told me, FWIW. And....."My suggestion would be to leave it attached, but most likely you have a full length barrel, so putting it in a case is a problem.

Unfortunately, two of them are already SBR'd. I've got a 14.5 Afghan and 10.5 comando. I really want the versatility of SBR w/ QD can. I guess this thread is really just me venting since not even the can's manufacturer/designer can do anything for me. Boo-Hoo! I'm going to the garden! |
