And I’m sure you’re not the only one doing that. When shooting with the suppressor attached those 1/2” threads are reinforced, so I don’t know if “belling” of the muzzle over time is the issue or if it’s more about the muzzle threads possibly splitting radially and leading to the suppressor sitting crooked, and a subsequent baffle strike and suppressor damage. I’d like to see a detailed explanation from a suppressor manufacturer or rifle smith
