From the tacked thread at the top of this forum:
"Most firearms will need to be threaded for a suppressor. Even those barrels that are already threaded (AR15's) should be rethreaded when attaching a suppressor. THis is because that in high volume production, the threads on the barrel are not always concentric to the bore. This doesn't matter with a regular flash hider or compensator but with the suppressor being off just a few thousands of a inch can create baffel strikes." How common an issue is this? My plan was to use a YHM QD Phantom on a Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle and a few different AR-15s (BCM and LaRue). What are the chances that the threading on those are not already adequate? If the barrel does have to be re-threaded, how does that work with the existing threads? I was hoping it would be as easy as removing the standard flash hiders and installing the Phantom QD flash hiders. |
