My AR replacement is pretty compact, even with an 18" barrel its bloody short. I asked Friwi at DPT about a new back end, and its over $200 (and its great that his design is clever enough to be modular so a replacement is possible).

    However adapters from overseas range between US$20 to $40 or so. In the configuration I need they can't be "on top of each other" as Nic has pointed out, so typically they extend the barrel length by half an inch or so.

    I sorta thought that with AR configured suppressors becoming "surplus" and frequently having the 5/8 thread there might be a wee market that someone local might be looking at meeting. I know how simple they are to make, but I also know that the first one won't be cheap either (but 10 will be), hence I thought a bit of a query might prompt something . . . . . I'll happily get one from Canada but would prefer a Kiwi one if it's possible in a cost effective way.
    Yep 100% man. I'm in the same boat. Ended up just buying a rifle with a thick enough barrel for a 5/8 thread
