Great rifle, btw.
Personal preferences are everything with suppressors and optics, but I somehow don't see the utility in paying to put a Silencerco can on a rifle that is fitted for a Surefire suppressor. Why not by a SOCOM 762 mini - same size as RC2, and you can shoot 556 and 762 ? But, I do put my finger on the scales when looking at military grade manufacturing company verses a marketing company. HOWEVER, the Geissele pin and weld is notoriously shallow, on the ones I have seen, and if that is your goal, send the barrel to a very well qualified gunsmith who will tell you he has removed pins many, many times before, and you should not have a problem. Now, mind you, you will pay for the service and a new muzzle device and shipping.
I have seen some pretty bad jobs at removing muzzle devices, but as I mentioned, Geissele tends to be more shallow than others.

For whatever reason I like that OD green color, and to top it off Bill's shop is less than a 30 minute drive from my house. The fact that the roll mark is a keystone for the keystone state I live in is icing on the cake.
Now, can that muzzle device be removed without screwing up the barrel so I can put my SiCo Omega can on there?

I'd only send it to ADCO I think..I am assuming they are the most experienced. That said, when I made this post I did not realize that I can put a surefire can on here. What you suggested is more than likely what I will end up doing.
