This question may not fit neatly in this forum, if so please move it to wherever appropriate.     For anyone with a CMR30, how long would the barrel be if chopped to .25" beyond the factory handguard?

What is the inside diameter of the handguard?   Could a 1" diameter rimfires can be recessed inside the handguard?   Would it accept a 1.5" center-fire suppressor (I'm guessing it won't).

Has anyone done this and run their CMR30 suppressed?  

Before anyone suggests to just get a 5.7x28, I'm already heavily invested in .22 Magnum so this project just makes sense.

Here is a picture of my CMR30 SBR. On my Form 1 application I have 10.5” for barrel length and I’m pretty sure there’s .75” from the front of the hand guard to the threads.

I doubt you’d be able to get anything under the hand guard area, it’s very narrow. Here’s a picture I grabbed off the internet that shows that it’s probably less than an .75” wide. I think the barrel is less than .65” in diameter.

Maybe something like this would work for what you want to do:
CMR-30 Extended M-LOK Handguard - Short

Thanks for the reply!    I figured the handguard would not be able to recess a suppressor inside.    How has reliability been with yours?    

I watched a Lucky Gunner video where he says it's a fun carbine, but is not super reliable.   Especially when dirty which is every 300-400 rounds.

I had one briefly, great gun, even got a good cheek rest on the stock.  Manual says not reliable w/ 30 grn ammo, mine was not.  Ran fine w/ 40 grn.

I will have one again unless Smith brings out the FPC in .22 Mag.
