I have a Browning Hells Canyon Speed in .243, purchased JUST before the “suppressor ready” model was released. So, I have the inconvenient metric threads (M13x0.75 I believe).
To run a .30 cal suppressor, I know I need to get to standard 5/8x24 threads. Based on research, it seems my two options are buying a thread adapter to mate to the suppressor OR cutting back the barrel and having a smith re-thread to the proper measure.
Does anyone have experience using a metric-to-imperial adapter for suppressors, or strong opinions against that idea? My worry is that If it is machined out of tolerance… baffle strikes and heartache to follow.
On the flip side, recommendations for a quality DFW gunsmith to handle the custom thread work? And could they machine an adapter specific for my rifle as a possible third option?
I am open to ideas, just would like my soon-to-be-purchased suppressor to have a long life and my currently-accurate rifle to stay that way! Thanks for all feedback.
