    I have the collar/brake on my Mk12Mod1 and have the Ops Inc 12th Model suppressor; I want to be able to use it on my carbine as well and have roughly 1.5 inches cut off the barrel and the brake pinned for legal OAL.

    Talked to ADCO and they have quite a backlog, and Accurate Ordnance doesn't do this any longer.

    Was looking for someone that has done the brake/collar install before to go over everything with and make sure what I am wanting to do will work; the carbine is a 16 inch barrel with the government profile and birdcage flash hider. I can have about 1.5 inches cut off because the permanently attached brake will add that back. The trick is that the pin will have to be made through the mounting screws on the brake so extra attention would need to be made to this otherwise it will cause an issue with the suppressor being screwed on properly.

    Let me know if you have done this, or if you would suggest/refer someone.

    Thanks
     
    I would not suggest you drill thru the threads. You are going to risk skipping a thread on the suppressor and that will lock you up. If you could manage to go in between the threads you would be ok but again, I don't believe the pin would be large enough.
