i need to know the recommended specs for installing a surefire suppressor adapter (MB762SSAL/RE). the instructions that come with it are no help. i sent an email to surefire for clarification and due to the response i got, i don't trust them. they tried to tell me that "The MB762SSAL/RE is threaded for a 5/8-24 barrel. This indicates that the threaded portion will be 5/8 of 1 inch and there will be 24 threads within that 5/8 length." the whole 24 threads in 5/8" leads me to believe i can't trust the tech support.
i understand that the barrel needs to be less than .775" for 2.75" from the muzzle but no where does it specify thread length. depending on how the suppressor mounts, .5" to .625" of thread length could change things. i don't know how critical that length is. i think it would look better with no gap behind the adapter but from what i have heard, it is needed to mount the suppressor. if they gave a minimum length from the shoulder to the rear of the .775" diameter section, that would be much simpler in my opinion.
