| I need a spacer to keep the end of the barrel from protruding too far into the blast chamber of my AAC Pilot series 1. Anybody know where I can Get something like that ? |

Silencerresearch.com sells them pretty cheap.

Most 5.56 barrels have thread tenon lengths from .600" to .650" in .5x28 tpi. Most .22 hosts and, therefore, most .22 suppressors, have a tenon length of .400" to .450". For a thread-mount suppressor you really should try to match the tenon length of the host to the thread length of the suppressor. If the host threads are too long and protrude into the silencer, the exposed threads can get fouled. This can make removing the suppressor difficult or even damaging to the suppressor and/or host. If the host threads are shorter than the thread length in the suppressor, the exposed suppressor threads can become fouled. That might never be a problem you'll notice until you try sticking that suppressor on a host with longer threads.
All this make sense? If a guy really wants to play the game the BEST way, he'd have someone make him the proper spacer. A "one size fits most" isn't going to be the best solution. Mark |
