SSG 3000 suppressed?

[polarcow]

I have been looking at getting an ssg 3000 and was wondering if anyone has put a suppressor on one. I have done a search and not found any references to it. So, would I need to remove the factory brake/flash suppressor (and if so how difficult would it be) or could I use a quick detach method and keep the factory brake/flash suppressor? Thanks.

The source unknown photo shows a suppressed SSG3000.
To my eyes the can seems to be a factory one. I guess an approach from that point is another way.

I have also looked into the same and I found the barrel is threaded to 18x1. So yes you can.

Thanks guys. Now I wonder how hard the factory brake is to take off and on? Anyone with any experience on this. Of course, I guess I could just order another barrel (probably 20 inches long) and have that sized and threaded so that both barrels could accept the same can.

The SSG is a really nice rifle. You can get really good deals on them these days too. Unfortunately, factory support in the US is very weak. I'm trying to source a second barrel myself which is commonly available in Europe but, I don't think you can even import them into the USA these days as a private person or FFL. I also tried to buy a 22lr conversion off the SIGARMS website but, they don't import them even though they are listed.

Also, you can fit a QD adapter to mount a suppressor.

Sid Post,

Would I have to take off the factory brake to mount the qd for the suppressor?

I took a course at the SIG Academy and we shot the instructor's suppressed SSG. Nice rifle.

Just did this today actually so I can tell you its not fun.
Remove the stock so you don't break it.
Either clamp the receiver or the brake in the vice (we put the brake in the vice for leverage and I'd rather screw up the brake than the receiver.
Heat the brake damn near red hot.
Unscrew.

According to SIG the German loctite must be heated to loosen it. According to their shop guys heated is red hot. I can attest to red hot or it wont budge.

Dont forget the set screw.
