Hey guys, I have a 16" AR that l want to setup to run my new suppressor. Currently l have a long SLR keymod handguard on it with a mostly recessed linear comp. I want to put a taper mount on it but the can is too big to recess on the handguard. Basically the handguard is just a touch too long if you see what l mean.
The easy fix would be a new handguard but my lovely state now has banned it all.
I could cut back the handguard but I'm trying to avoid it because there is no clean way to do this one without a bunch of jagged edges because it has so many holes everywhere.
So... Does anyone have experience with a barrel extender like this:https://www.infiniteproductsolutions.com/barrel-extensions/
It's obviously not ideal to stack tolerances but l don't see why it would be a problem in this application. I'm (ass)uming they are bored larger than the caliber and not rifled which gives a bit of clearance. I only need 1 inch and l could rokset it in place and get a taper mount on it. My can is 9mm or 35 cal on a .223 cal bore. In my eyes this gives a lots of fudge factor for potential misalignment. I still don't think their should be much of any though but that seems like a good size buffer to make you feel better.
Do you guys think this could be a decent plan?
