Not if the BATFE has anything to say about it

But yes,technically you can get different mounts for different platforms and have one can.

What I did, plus there's a member who makes thread adaptors so .308 cans mount to .22/.223 threads. (5/8-24 vs 1/2-28). I've got two and highly recommend them.
Go here: Adaptors and send him an IM.

AR's generally come in 1/2 x 28 and 308 cans(and most 308 BA,not sure what the TPI is for an AR-10) are generally threaded 5/8 x 24,so that poses a dilemna.You can get an adapter but IMHO I would just get two FH.I personally dont like the adapters.But to each his own.

It depends on the thickness of the barrel, but you can have barrels cut, rethreaded, etc.

I don't like threading adapters. Just adding threading error (loseness) upon error.

depends on how bad it is.Do you still want to shoot .223 through a 308 can if you knew their were issues with the thread adapters?Accuracy would be the least of my worries if I had a misaligned 308 can with a .223 bullet goin through it,Im just sayin.......
