While several people that use suppressors are looking at this thread. What covers do you like? Not only the mirage but I just have one right now and for swapping it around with other rifles. Old pair of leather gloves is working for the swapping but a little red neck….haha I like the Cole Tac HTP: https://www.cole-tac.com/product/htp-suppressor-cover/#cover-base-color

Old pair of leather gloves is working for the swapping but a little red neck….haha I've got Cole-Tac's on all of mine. HTP on one; Python on another, and Baby Python on the .22RF can. Not sure where I'll go with the HTP or Python (maybe Metal Python) on the KGM R65 I have pending. https://www.cole-tac.com/
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

There's a guy over on Texas Hunting Forum that has very high quality covers at great prices. I have a couple and they're excellent.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I run a 5 squared on my 18” 308. I tried all four variations in the office and picked the 5” titanium. Recoil reduction was my need, the noise is less. The shot sound is lessened, an observer at a hundred yards could not tell where the shot originated from. Mine is threaded 5/8x 24. My Kimber barrel is threaded 1/2x28 due to the lack of diameter. I threaded it to fit the adaptor in hand so tolerance stack was minimized to the adaptor. I have not taken it off after install. Been two years and no issues. Lots of rounds and lots of hunting

I'll likely get 5 squared for my 12" 6.5 Grendel SBR if I like this 4 squared on my 280AI.

Why wouldn't you put the smaller muffler on the smaller engine?....

I think this video speaks to the concerns of 1/2” muzzle threads. The smaller the thread and the larger the bore, the thinner the steel and increased opportunity for the the result shown in the video. https://youtu.be/CUm_YXzJJOU
Don't speculate when you don't know, and don't second guess when you do.

The smaller the thread and the larger the bore, the thinner the steel and increased opportunity for the the result shown in the video. https://youtu.be/CUm_YXzJJOU Don’t see how that applies to a barrel that’s already threaded and has been shot safely and extremely accurately a few hundred times, unless I’m missing something.

It was intended to be a reply to DanGilbert’s comment. To your point, even if the bore does open up slightly at the muzzle where it is threaded, it doesn’t necessarily mean there will be an accuracy issue.

Great thread bump. I’m just entering the suppressor game and at the same time thinking about playing with building a couple Short Barrel Rifles (SBRs) so this and John Burns thread have caught my attention.

Resonator K is highly rated and available. Not only is it an outstanding, compact can, you don't have to screw around with giving the narcissistic loser Burns or give his company any of your hard earned money. My thoughts exactly. Be the last place I’d look.

Wow, that is 22 LR size. Suppression has to be very limited especially on a 280ai. Hope you are happy with it. Give a report when you get it out of jail
