Suppressors Old Unused Can; trash it or keep it?

[mdmp5]

I have this POS (yes it is a POS in case you’re reading Misters Fisher and Smith) M1a can that attaches via a vortex flash hider. I sold my M1a, and now the can is nothing but a paperweight. Never worked for shit anyway because the design precludes any meaningful degree of accuracy and it’s loud to boot.

Should I just keep it as a blunt object or bookend, or should I saw this POS in half and send a letter to the ATF that it was destroyed? May sound like a weird or dumb question, but it almost seems like a liability to lug this thing around; one more thing to possibly misplace

Keep it around. Not taking up any measurable amount of space...

If the tube is good, send it to be re-cored. I’m sure you could have it turned into a much nicer suppressor.

To go off of what jackalope said. See if ECCO machine can recore it for ya

Definitely put new guts in it and run it.

 

[Jscb1b]

Keep it.

If you decide to trash it I’m a self certified unwanted suppressor manager. I can just pm you my dealers info and you can send my way. I will recore and shoot the piss out of it properly dispose of it

Never thought about a re-core. I’d have to change the connection as well though because it is a shitty design

They do that too. So long as it ends up the same caliber and length with the same serialized part is my understanding.

Sweet. Great idea. Never would have even thought of it, hence why I asked the question in the first place. Thanks everyone

Great information

Yeah, so long as the caliber doesn't change and the length doesn't materially change, you can really do whatever you want to in terms of how it connects and the baffles inside. The whole idea is just to prevent one serial number being used for multiple cans, not to prevent any modifications to a legal and approved can.

They can also put whatever mounting system you want on it (as long as it fits)... I'd go DA KeyMo, or just have the back of it modified and threaded 1-3/8x24 threads, so it accepts most all centerfire suppressor mounting systems and direct-thread adapters.

I’m pretty sure Ecco, has about a 8mo back log now that remmington decided to be dickholes and blow all their money on ego and the r9.

He said it's a paperweight... So, he obviously doesn't use it right now. I say send it off, wait 8 months (or whatever the back-log is), and get it back useable... Or, wait, don't send it off, and then finally decide to, and it takes even longer to make it useable. Just my thought process. Why wait, when you could go ahead and get the ball rolling on making something functional again.

If I'm not mistaken, I think Liberty Suppressors in Georgia also does recoring and rebuilding of suppressors... Might be quicker. Give them a call.
