Thread: Another suppressor question

So a few things to check, before you necessarily jump on the suppressor.

The thread on the muzzle is quite often the biggest variable.

Is the thread in good condition.
Is it perfectly true to the bore.
How wide is the shoulder that the suppressor screws up against (I like to have 1mm min, so 2mm more than thread diameter)
Is the face of the shoulder clean, a bit of crap or a bur can tip the can.
Is the crown good.

So now to the suppressors

Does the one which is playing up have a smaller bore than the other, if so it might well be that both are tipped slightly but just the tighter one shows it.
Are both rear over barrel end caps a good clearance on the outside of the barrel, I have many barrel offcuts here (from established brands) where the bore is over 1mm eccentric to the O/D, so if the rear over barrel end cap is tight it will tip the can.
Are the barrel to suppressor shoulder faces clean in both suppressors, if not again you can tip the can.

So just a few ideas to look at.

Cheers
