So I'm starting a new project

[Itsazonik]

I was looking at those measurements as well. That's the same problem I'm being told I will have with the 38 as well

 

[Afalex1]

What is the OD of the lever gun barrel?

 

[Itsazonik]

.640

 

[Afalex1]

At .640 you could have 5/8-24 threads cut and use the fixed barrel adapter Silencero provides. Here is a video of a mares leg turned sbr with a 9mm osprey. Leveraction Rifle with Suppressor:

Maybe find a different smith or send it to Adco?

 

[Itsazonik]

I watch all these videos and know it's exactly the same as my rifle. I just need to order the suppressor and start the process. Once I have it in hand I'll get the rifle done. I have now had 3 shops tell me they won't do it because it's not possible. Well the video proof is there so it's possible.

 

[Afalex1]

Strip the barrel off, send it to Adco with the specs from http://www.silencerco.com/product-support/

Once the barrel is back, take it to one of your local guys and have them cut the mag tube down. Hopefully they can handle that.

 

[Itsazonik]

The mag tube is the easy part but after all their answers I'm not sure I want to give them any business. Secondly I don't want to pull the barrel. Closest I have found so far is a friend in South Dakota has a gunsmith that said he will do it. I just need to get all the dimensions for the suppressor so he will know how many threads to cut and what not. The octane 45 has a replicable piston to use on different thread pitches. I might be able to order just that and send it with the rifle

 

[Afalex1]

I have an octane 45, but I don't have a 9mm piston. You dont want to use a piston anyway. It will turn the suppressor into a slide hammer on the end of the barrel. There is not a need for a Nielson device on a fixed barrel rifle. Thread it 5/8-24 and get this to go with your suppressor. http://www.store.silencerco.com/products/thread-mount

Or thread it .578-28 get this http://www.store.silencerco.com/collections/handgun/products/fixed-barrel-spacer and this http://www.store.silencerco.com/collections/handgun/products/osprey-pistons .

 

[Itsazonik]

The fixed mount looks like the way to go

 

[Afalex1]

If the OD of the barrel is .640 and you put 5/8'24 threads on it there won't be much of a shoulder for the can to index on, but it should be enough. .015-.020 is a very small shoulder. I think 1/2-28 would be too small and leave way too thin of a wall between major ID (.451-.453) of the bore and minor OD (.465-475 guessing no book with me) of the threads. You should be able to get away with 5/8-24 and a .015 shoulder. ALWAYS have a can or thread protector on it to protect the shoulder and threads from nicks and dings.

 

[Itsazonik]

I was thinking of a small muzzle break for when I don't have a can on it

 

[Afalex1]

Muzzle break will have to be timed with shims or crush washer or be specially made to thread and time specifically for that rifle. Not a major issue, but one more thing. Something like a vortex flash hider doesn't require timing.

I would select a different weapon

 

[Itsazonik]

If I was going that route I would have it made just for that rifle

 

[Itsazonik]

I would select a different weapon

Maybe I'll haveto find a different 357 lever action with a heavier barrel
