After what I feel is a lot of research I am left with the following questions/thoughts. Don't worry the products I am looking at are sold out. LOL
1. With mounting systems I really like the Sure-Fire QD mount system but there cans are pricey and not a quiet as others. (so I read/hear/hype-train) 2. I want to be able to use said can for my precision .308, my not as precise AR-15 .223 more precise 6.5 Grendel and future AR-10 unsure of caliber (I welcome caliber suggestions for precision) 3. Brands I like are Rugged, Surefire and a few others but I like the idea of different end caps for caliber conversions and the shorter length option like the Rugged Surge. Is this foolish? Not trying to stir the pot just looking for constructive thoughts and or input. 4. If I have the barrel removed to get threads installed can that affect the current accuracy with my current custom/handloads ammo? What is different between an American and Computer? Americans don't have -trouble shooting LOL If Glen Seekin's could just go ahead and engineer a suppressor as good as his scope rings I would not have to think about it. (Yes I am a Fan/Boy.... There I said it LOL)

There I said it LOL) https://ibb.co/v344ys5 https://i.ibb.co/v344ys5/Surgeon-700.jpg First you don't need to change the end caps. Just get a .30 suppressor and you can swap it between the bunch. You will not hear the difference. I have used my .30 can down to .223 and my .338 can down to 6mm. The extra internal volume of the .30 can over a dedicated .223 can will make up the difference with the small end cap differences. So just find a good .30 can. Messing with the barrel to thread or anything, even adding a can, will effect accuracy. Not always a lot or even in a bad way but you might just need to work up a different load for it. Other companies have QD cans or you can just get a direct thread. Only issue that will come in is most ARs are 1/2-28 and the larger calibers are 5/8-24. So you will either have to rethread the AR or get an adapter, which you have to make sure is true so no baffle strikes, or find a QD can that has adapters for both sizes. And I like Seekins too. Been friends with Glen before there was a Seekins Precision and been suing his rings since 2005 as well as other products and an AR. He makes some great products. |

If you are looking for performance and not doing a ton of rapid fire strings, I would go with a .30 Tbac and rotate it around. If you want durability and ability to shoot rapid fire, look at the suggested Dead Air offerings.

I've used several different suppressors in my time shooting. Surefire, AAC, Silencerco, ect. If you are seeking the direct thread option it was hit on above that you will have threading issues due to the difference in the 556 / 762 thread patterns. I use surefire brakes / FH compatible with the SOCOM and can use them on all the 308/762 and below. It makes it pretty simple and you have a reduced chance of a baffle strike.
