Suppressors SilencerCO Harvester 300

[fmillik]

I got a question for you guys:

I shoot with a SilencerCO Harvester 300, and I noticed the end of my threads on my barrel have been getting some carbon build-up on them. Do you think it would be a good idea to use a crush washer to reduce the threads exposure or is this a bad idea?

First picture is without crush washer and the second photo is with one.

Your overthinking it. Just run it. A crush washer may affect alignment.

 

[Huskydriver]

Soak some clr on your threads every so often and brush it off and you will be good to go

 

[fmillik]

I have a second adapter with a different thread pitch for a different and the barrel doesn’t extend as far into the suppressor so that the threads get carbon on them.

I am going to try it with the crush washer ?

Your asking for a baffle strike

Asked if it was a bad idea. Told it was a bad idea. Doing it anyway. ?

 

[hafejd30]

If you must do this a shim would be better than a crush washer. Crush washer is asking for baffle strike and inconsistency when removing and reattaching suppressor

 

[fmillik]

Hmm, that would definitely be less than ideal.

Thanks, guys.

Told I was “overthinking it,” which I wouldn’t call a bad idea.

Told it can cause a baffle strike, and yeah, I am not going to do that.

What adapter is that? I also have a Harvester 300 and none of mine look like that.

I like the shim idea if the fouling on the threads are an issue. But it probably isn’t an issue unless accuracy suffers.

You could try shims and see if it changed group size and then decide which way to go. I have seen excess thread prutrusion on some 22LR cans cause a big increase in group size.

I have two from SilencerCo. The one that is causing me issues is the 1/2-28. The 9/16-24 fits flush with the threads.

I also bought them on the same day, and was surprised by the design of the 1/2-28 adapter when it arrived as I hadn’t seen any on their website that resembled it. (They were selling all their accessories at a steep discount ).

 

[Huskydriver]

Have you thought about running a qd brake or mount system instead of direct threading?

 

[fmillik]

Will probably just see if SilencerCo will send/exchange me one with a better fit since the crush washer plan isn’t advised.

 

[dustingaunder]

You got the octane mount. You need to get the Harvester mount. AC633

 

[fmillik]

On the SilencerCo website it lists the Octane mount as compatible with the Harvester 300, but you are right.

 

[dustingaunder]

It’s comparable as in it screws on. Allows you to use a harvester on a barrel with a shorter pistol thread. If you use a rifle mount on a shorter pistol thread you’ll have the opposite problem. Carbon buildup in the mount that won’t allow it to screw onto a rifle length thread.

 

[fmillik]

Thanks for your help. Wrote to SilencerCo to see if they would let me swap ?. Those mounts aren’t cheap, and there’s no harm in asking.

Got a response from SilencerCo and they stated that (1) my 1/2-28 adaptor is threaded normally, (2) they aren’t interested in exchanging it and (3), just for good measure, decided to neg me for not cleaning the threads “for a long while....”

Ughh, I had been cleaning the threads for 10 min right before taking the photo, which made me think there has to be a better way.

Throw some boretech C4 on the threads and let it sit... or CLR like HuskyDriver said.

As for SilencerCo’s response, I am not surprised. Their CS isn’t great.

You are using the Octane (Alpha) direct thread adapter, you need the Harvester direct thread adapter, part AC633. PM me, if you need one.

i haven't shot mine yet but have the 5/8-24 and 1/2-28 adapters for my harvester that is still in jail. neither of my adapters look like your 1/2-28.

edit: sorry, looks like you figured it out already. should have read the thread first before posting.

Thanks @HansohnBrothers for getting me a new adapter so quickly and at a good price. Solved the issue.
