I want a silencer on my hunting rifle(s). Trouble is, all the barrels are too small for 5/8" threads. 1/2" threads will work on at least most. Any reason it wouldn't work to do that? I'm thinking about things like the strength of 1/2" threads for a 30-cal can, and so forth.
Any of you put 'full-size' silencers on small threads? Any of you put them on your Rugers, Winchesters, Brownings, Sako/Tikkas, etc?
P.S. Although the easy 'fix' is to get something like a Ruger American Predator, I strongly dislike most or all rifles in that general class, either because of the stocks, the general feel of them, or specific issues I've experienced with them.
