Can I use a Surefire 762SS .308 can on a 556 Surefire suppressor adapter? I don't want to have to turn the barrel down to accept a .308 adapter and use the 308 can on an SPR.

Not the ones I have. They do not seem to seat correctly. But they do have flash hiders and muzzle breaks for each caliber. I am running the breaks, not flash hiders.

Can't use a 7.62 can on a 5.56 adapter. Why don't you just put on a 7.62 adapter on your ...?

Not according to their website.

Then it's suboptimal to suggest using a 7.62 brake on his 5.56, since that would require getting non-standard threads on his barrel.

Then what do you suggest for using a 7.62 suppressor on both guns? I am all ears!
 
Re: Surefire suppressor adapter compatibility

So you are suggesting an adapter under/behind the Surefire adapter?
