I am purchasing a .22 conversion kit for my rifle and would like to shoot it with my .22 silencer on my AR-15. I still will be shooting 5.56 through the same upper at times though. Swapping a muzzle device on and off my rifle that requires a crush washer isn't that practical for what I looking for. Can a A1 Suppressor, Phantom Flash Suppressor, or a Bushmaster CAR15 Shorty Look Suppressor be used as a muzzle device/thread protector when I am not shooting .22, and when I am shooting 5.56 instead? |

You don't "need" any washer especially if you are only going "hand tight". I just went ahead and got the 5.56mm suppressor and QD Mounts for both my barrels because it is MUCH cheaper to buy a new QD mount if it gets buggered up than it is to buy a new barrel should you damage the threads. Also, each time you are swapping devices you run the risk of damaging the crown on your barrel. I guess it all depends on how often you swap. Generally my Suppressor stays on my Duty weapon and only comes off when I want to shoot my HBAR. |
Hey! The stock is great! I slightly modified it (as pictured here: M&P15A Modified Fiberlight Tele-stock ) I have on my desk, two small insignificant items that I need to send out to ya. I have been so busy with the police academy that I just keep putting it aside. A week from today I will get them out to ya! Thanks again man! |
