A while ago, I was thinking about how best to get both guns suppressed (my .308 and my AR). Two cans was going to be expensive and no one seems to sell AR threaded cans.
Anyway, I had started a thread that broached this subject and one proposal had been to get a .308 can and fashion an adaptor that would allow its 1x18 thread to be threaded on to a standard AR.
This is something I have been investigating despite originally thinking it too expensive to consider.
I've found a place that might help but need some input. I do want the sound suppression but don't want to loose accuracy as my AR is not a match gun to begin with. Whatever I do, I want to maintain its existing accuracy as much as possible.
So, what diameter should the bore of the adaptor be?
.308"?
.224"?
Or something in between?
Furthermore, would the adaptor need any sort of crown cut to manage gases as the bullet passes from the barrel to the adaptor and then the can?
