Long story short is that I bought a lightly-used MK13 Mod 5 from an aquaintance on the other side of the country. I received the rifle and went to throw my suppressor on it and it doesn’t fit. There are basically two issues.
1). The fit is really tight; I imagine a little bit might have to be shaved off the circumference of the barrel. Maybe not.
2). The locking points/slots are just a little bit too far from the muzzle. I can’t get the can all the way onto the barrel, because the muzzle hits the first baffle of the suppressor before I can get it locked into place.
I’ve emailed Alan Brown, who built the gun. Outside of calling him on the phone, I doubt I’m going to hear back. He’s backordered like 9 months and I’m not sure when he could slot this into his schedule. I’m not prepared to wait that long to get this fixed. I emailed Kevin at HCS and though they don’t have anything to do with these builds anymore, he advised that it’s apparently not a difficult fix.
I can post pictures later.
Does anyone have a smith in mind that could do this, preferably in Florida? Doesn’t have to be here, but would certainly make it easier.
