1st can thought process advice

[92xj]

I’m green and knew really nothing of this world until very recently when I started lots of research.

I am looking for something practical and not the best ever for the application.

Building a gun for the kids, 6CM threaded with 5/8-24. I am 99%set on the AB raptor 8. This gun will be used and abused but not overly shot, maybe 300 rounds a year.

Additionally, I have a hells canyon speed 300wm that I’ve had for years and am in love with. I do not plan to change anything about it but would like to have the option to thread a can on. It has the m13-.75 threads.

I have read lots on adaptors and understand the debate, but willing to take the risk of shooting with it after making sure the line of flight is clear.

Two questions within my thought process…
Unknown’s adaptor looks designed for an OTB can but they don’t make one in my 300wm threads. The other adaptors on the market look fine but not sure they will work with the can? I’d like to spend whatever is needed for the highest quality adaptor, any recommendations?

Second, I know I’ll need the 7.62 can for the 300wm and having an over cal can for the 6CM isn’t ideal, but surely it’ll be plenty effective for the kids to shoot? Part two of that thought is that since the cal size isn’t ideal for the 6CM what if I bump up to the Raptor 10 to help a little more? Adds 1.5 ounces and an inch in length, both I can easily live with and wouldn’t think twice about, if there is a positive difference in performance on both guns.

Thanks

Simple answer is an Ultra 7 with appropriate mounts for each rifle. Everyone else will be along shortly with different opinions.

Air lock 30cal goes on sale this Saturday. Gotta be quick though.

Good luck screwing one onto metric threads.

lol. Get an adapter. You’re almost required to with a metric threaded barrel

I have a 30 cal can on a 6 Creed. It’s fine.

You can't go wrong with an AB suppressor. I was on this road a few years ago and wanted maximum suppression for my kids and for shooting around the house, etc. I opted for the AB 10stack and 5 inch reflex. It's an impressive can with the flush mount on .223, 6.5cm, 30-06, etc. And with the reflex it's great on the magnums.

I would never not recommend AB if you can work out the adapters.

I don't use mine with the reflex on anything with an adapter, tho....even though I think I have a plan to get a stuck adapter out if I had one decide to come off the barrel with the reflex.

Getting my girls behind suppressed rifles has been awesome. But you'll probably end up with a few more suppressors once you take the plunge.
