I want to get a new suppressor and would like to have it fulfill 2 objectives. That being said I want to be able to use it between a Sako TRG-22 (260 Rem.) with a 18 X 1 metric thread on the end of the barrel, I also want to be able to use it on my Colt LE6920's as well. I know it obviously has be a .30 caliber for use on the TRG but given the pressures it should be fine on a 5.56 but will need to have an adapter of some sort. Anyone out there do anything like this? I'm looking to get the most use out of it that I can. It will most likely see more use on the 6920's but I want to be certain that it is appropriate tor the Sako. What do you fellas have on the TRG's? If this is something that could degrade accuracy with the TRG I would not want to do it. I would then just get something for the AR's then. Thank you in advance, I do appreciate it.

I'd suggest something single point attach for the TRG. Then get something QD for the ARs.
You need single point attachment for precision. Look into Thunderbeast. Only suppressor manufacturer I know that designs for accuracy as well as quiet.
I've got a Liberty Freedom on my 308 that i'm very pleased with but those TBA cans are lighter.

+1 for TBAC and +1 for running a separate suppressor for the AR.

SAS did my 308 cans with multiple thread bushings and I run them on several rifles including my TRG.

Re: Suppressor for TRG in 260 Remington
I do not know if this is your only can. If it is, then go .30, but if it is not, go 6.8. One can, just one and you have extreme precision and suppression with the right maker.
Why? Well technically, the tolerances of a 6.8 can will work much better on both the .260 and the 5.56 than the .30 will. As some 6.8 cans have the same volume (or nearly the same) as the .30's, the ".30 larger can volume" argument falls on deaf ears. The volumes are nearly identical, but the bore...the bore is where the issue is. This is because the .260 has the same volume case past the neck, essentially the same powder fill and approx gas expansion as the .30. It is always better to avoid overbore if maximum suppression is to be achieved. We read a lot about multi caliber cans, and to a small extent it works fairly well. But, there is no comparison between overbore and a properly dimensioned stack. If you are concerned about using an adapter remember that a precision adapter, well designed, well executed will serve the bolt action low rate of fire shooter very well. Checking your can is a given, but after decades of doing so, I can tell a quality adapter on a bolt gun works well.
I shoot .260 both SS and sub through a 6.8 and .30 can and, whereas suppression occurs with both, the 6.8 has it beat hands down. Internal volume is approx. the same. I demand absolutely world class suppression in my .30 series. I shoot allot of it and I believe that everyone that shoots the .30s needs a top notch can. I expect nothing remarkable to happen in regard to suppression when I shoot small calibers through my .30 cans and I am never disappointed. Smaller, starting at .260 because of the nature and power of that round needs a closer bore than .30.
Mounting, here is more of an issue. If it was me, no question I would go for a re-threading on the TRG to standard pitch. If not, I would get one of these. In the can "adapters" out of the can "adapters", if its well made, the end result is the same.

Go to the bottom of the left hand column. Mark is one of the best and can make anything and probably has.
I would go single point (no QD) and enjoy top accuracy and interchangeability. No sense in buying a light can and then throwing a heavy QD on the end of a precision barrel.
"Only suppressor manufacturer I know that designs for accuracy as well as quiet." There are a good number of manufacturers that accomplish both, some IMO lighter and quieter than TBA. But at this level of performance, you have to really want to spend the $$.
Good luck.

Sharks use interchangeable thread adapters
18 x 1 and 1/2 x 28 no problem
Just have to be careful not to have it unthread on your AR

I recently bought a TRG in 260 and have a 30P-1 on order. Initially I was going to have the barrel rethreaded to 5/8-24 so I could use one of my existing suppressors but I decided to bite the bullet and order a new can instead of monkeying with the barrel.
