Thread: Suppressor adaptors?

Hi all does anyone make suppressor adaptors? So that you could say use a dpt centerfire suppressor threaded for 14x1 on a .22 with a standard rimfire thread.

Or to go from a terminator muzzle brake thread to a dpt with a different thread.

Cheers

Most of my rifles are 1/2-20 and that includes my 10-22
I use my dpt and OD on it from time to time when I feel the need
it is quieter but my main limitaiton is the bolt slap so its mostly not worth the hassle
Id think maybe it would cost the same to rethread your barrel on the 22 but then you "have to" use the centerfire one all the time

If noise from your 10/22 cycling is unwanted where you are shooting, try putting your right thumb behind the bolt handle to prevent it cycling. Its only a .22 and won't hurt you a bit. I used to do this when getting rid of pesky cats for Octogenerian gardeners sick of bumping into cat poo in their garden

Two points;

Thread sizes- Most of the thread sizes you mentioned will make the suppressor stick quite a bit further forward. If the OD of the smaller thread is close to , or greater than the ID of the larger thread, then they will not be able to overlap and you will need to put one thread at each end of the adaptor. Otherwise there will be no strength in them and it will be like tin foil.

If you do go down the adaptor track, one tip would be to put a Screw driver slot on the rear (muzzle) end. Both threads on it will be in the same direction and you will need to be able to remove it from the inside of the suppressor sleeve in the muzzle thread is the one that releases first. With the slots on (as in the quick diagram) if that happens you can undo the adaptor with a screw driver or make a blade to fit it.
