Ok guys, I want to purchase a suppressor, but need some help...
I'm trying to plan everything out accordingly so I don't order something and find out later that the suppressor I ordered won't work on more than one of guns I want to use it on. I would like to use the suppressor on my Surgeon Scalpel 308, FN SPR, Scar 17, and Scar 16(if possible). I would like to be able to swap it between the guns readily. I don't mind not having a brake on the bolt guns, but would like to have a brake/flash hider on the scars...so it would be nice to have a suppressor that mounts over the brake.
I'm thinking I could just install the same brake/flash hider on all 4 guns and get a matching suppressor that will fit all four rifles. Here's where I'm running into some trouble. My Surgeon already has an older model surefire brake attached - the one that fits the 762ss "legacy" suppressor. Is Surefire still manufacturing the legacy models? If so, is there a brake that will fit both of my Scars that also fits the 762ss legacy suppressor? Would that be the best/easiest way to go since I already have the adapter on my Surgeon or would it be silly for me to pick a suppressor based on one of my guns already having the adapter?
I do not have to go with a Surefire can...I've read some great things about the Thunder Beast for bolt guns. Could I install the 30BA on my Scars? Finally, it seems like the surefire brake is threaded further onto the barrel of my Surgeon further than other brakes...is this accurate? If so, how much of a problem will it be to install a different, shorter brake eg surefire SOCOM or Thunder Beast? Would it be as simple as adding a spacer?
I know it's a long post with lots of questions. Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated!
