Ops inc adapter/ extension

[806guns]

I have a sps tactical 223 18" 5/8x24 threaded barrel and want to run a ops inc type can eventually. What's the best route for this? D. Wilson MFG doesnt do this contour anymore.

Have Adco contour the barrel for a collar. The extensions are trouble and should not be used.

What is the diameter of your barrel at the muzzle? I'm curious since I didn't know the 223 sps tactical came in 18"

I had good luck contouring a .92 bull barrel for my aem5 at a local gunsmith

Its only .865 after the muzzle threads. This one was cut from 20" i believe.

Yes. I worked with Ron Allen on one in '06. He made a couple for other people too. He eventually asked for it back because they were destroying silencers. The system is not designed, or intended, for an extension. The best way to adapt your gun for an OPS/AE can is to have your barrel machined for a collar.

Im guessing alignment issues with the barrel threads to the adpater ?

You should have enough to profile the barrel. Search aem5 ocm5 profile on this forum to get prints.

Yes. The same holds true for thread adapters and extensions for all silencers. Blowing out the end of your irreplaceable silencer doesn't sound appealing.

I've had SPR/Bug Holes cut barrels with OPS profiles too. Adco doing an adapter is cheaper but a Bart from SPR is better.

ive never thought of using anything like that.

I'm getting a few barrels profiled without a collar

I dont have enough meat on the barrel for this style contour. I would have to do the spr contour with the collar.

otter creek labs makes what you're looking for. I have one available if you would like one cheaper than new.

Allegheny gave you good advice on Arfcom. I would stay with 5/8-24 though.

Sent them a email. Just looking at options

Whatever you do have it done right if it's an accurate barrel that you care about. I messed with shims/press fits for a un-contoured barrel and collar combo and was getting erratic groups, I believe the suppressor was slightly wobbling.

Do you still have one available?

What is your finished barrel diameter behind the threads? Otter Creek Labs makes a one-piece thread-on mount that may do what you want (possibly the one Allegheny offered above).

yes, send me a message it wont let me send you one.
