| can a .223 can bore be enlarged to .30 cal. for subsonic .30 & maybe 7.62x39 use? in 223 it would be a little louder but have less back press. / gas in the face, right? |
| i've been considering just getting a .30 can as well but the con's for me are it's added length & weight. i don't intend to use full power .30 cal. ammo except maybe 7.62x39. any idea how much louder it would be than if it was 2'' longer & .1 more dia.? i want it for an ar15 s.b.r. & a 7.62x39 w/ 180gr. subsonic. were i want the bbl. threaded is .610 so i think it needs to be threaded 1/2 28 anyway. do you think it would ring your ears on an 11.5 ar15 if bored out to .30? |

You might want to look at a SAS 30 cal can i think they run 400 and are a great can for the money as far as the reviews that i have read. One more problem, your talking about using a 30 cal rifle with 1/2x28 threads, may work well but you want as much thickness on your muzzle as you can have and 5/8x24 is the way to go on a 30 cal. Also i have used a xxx bored out to 9mm "just a example 223 bored out to 9mm" and it worked ok, but i dont think its what you are really looking for i really think you will be happier with a 30 cal can in the long run. Besides why risk ruining a great can ? just my 2c but i would seriously concider doin this |
| the bbl. dia. is .610 were i want it cut, not enough dia. for 5/8 or even 9/16 threads. i was thinking 1/2 28 would be as good as i can get & still have some shoulder. 9mm is .35 cal. & threaded 1/2'' & w/ the lighter can it should be ok? i'm not looking for silent in .223, if i could shoot w/ out ear plugs i'd be pleased. the .223 can should have enough valume to work well w/ subsonic .30? a full size .30 can would be alot of overkill i think, especally w/ weight & length. i want as little of both of those as possible? i appreciate the advice so far but still don't have a good enough reason to live w/ the disavantages of the .30 can? any idea were to get one bored out accurately? |
