Thread: Can Questions

Hey all,

Looking at a Supressor for the 6.5x55. Have a few questions about over barrels models and the barrel bush.
What are the tolerences when machining the bush down? Obviously it needs to be concentric with the barrel/bore.
Are they made to be a tight 'seal' fit or merely to keep the supressor on straight to stop it coming lose and imploding.

Is it a job my mate the mechanic/engineer can do(I assume you would have to turn it out on the lathe rather than just drill it out)

Seems like a bit of a palava and a bunch of extra cost to send the whole rifle away to fit the suppressor. (its allready threaded)

Is there much to gain with an OB type or should I just go a few (3ish) cm longer, pick up a dpt muzzle can and be done with it?

Cheers in advance
