Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Browning BAR with suppressor

Can you suppress a bar? Didnt know if it would over gas it or not.

Those 18" BAR's with detachable mags are good feeling rifles

Nobody’s seen a BAR suppressed?

Just spitballin' here, (my knowledge on the BAR's could fit into a miniature thimble) but you could run into cycling problems without some tinkering. I thought I'd read somewhere that BAR's have adjustable regulators????

***pure speculation on my part***

First issue you’ll have is getting the muzzle threaded. I did one on the Winchester variant and it required some finagling with disassembly and an independent 4 jaw chuck. I thought about the same thing and would likely go with a reflex mounted suppressor where the can extends back past the muzzle for 1/2 to 2/3rds its length, 3-4” behind the muzzle. Supposed to minimize the length of the gas pressure duration.
