Those are not permanent modifications and it can be returned to it's factory configuration (9mm) at any time. Other cans that can do this are the Saker, Hybrid, Octane, Revo45, Omega, Obsidian, Surge, Razor, and several others.
What you are proposing is a permanent change to your 556 can. Once "bored out" it cannot be returned to the caliber on the Form 4. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quote History Quoted:

Per ATF the caliber (bore) of a silencer may not be changed. The length may be shortened pursuant to a repair, but the caliber on the Form 4 must always remain the same.
Not saying I don't believe you....but do you have a cite?
because how do you account for the Griffin that can change from a .30 cal to a .22 cal? The one with multiple caliber options?

Q5: May a repair change the dimensions or caliber of a silencer?
A: If alterations to a silencer would increase the overall length or change the diameter or caliber of a
silencer, this is the making of a new silencer, as opposed to a repair. The new silencer must be
registered and transferred in accordance with the NFA and the GCA. Alterations to a registered silencer
that result in a minimal reduction in the overall length for purposes of rethreading are permissible as
178
repairs. However, the reduction in length may not result in the removal, obliteration, or alteration of the
existing serial number, as this would violate 18 U.S.C. § 922(k). If such a repair is necessary, the
damaged silencer should be destroyed or returned to the registrant. If it is destroyed, destruction should
be reported to the NFA Branch. Any replacement silencer must be registered and transferred in
accordance with the NFA and the GCA. See Q2 and Q3 for further information on repairs.

Hmmm, never underestimate the ATF to be retarded.
Suppressors shouldn't even be a regulated item. Period
Oh well.
