Cooper 92 backcountry suppressor question

[ryjack70ss]

Hi. I am in the process of ordering my first suppressor. Anyone mount a thunder beast to a cooper or other similar thin barrel with 1/2” threads? TB does not recommend this and their 1/2” has an aperture for 223 not .30. If anyone has done this, what adapter did you use? Or would you recommend d against it? I would use the same can on my 223 ar so that’s not an issue, but all my rifles seem to have 1/2” threads (Cooper, Weatherby). And if I ever thread my tikka superlite I assume it too would need 1/2. Thanks for any input or advice.

Bunch of adapters out there. I one like this from silencer central; 1/2 x28 to 5/8x24.

Adapter 1/2×28 to 5/8×24 – Silencer Central

This 1/2×28 to 5/8×24 barrel thread adapter is made on CNC equipment and designed to ensure the highest level of tolerance to eliminate alignment issues.

www.silencercentral.com

It's on a 25-06 with 24" sporter weight barrel.

If you're not committed to direct thread, TB will install a CB on a smaller profile barrel. You've just got to send it off to them so they can confirm it seats correctly on the muzzle face.

Call thunderbeast. They are super helpful and you are going to get the best information from the horses mouth. They recommended not using any adapters because you’re stacking tolerance on top of tolerance. They recommend a face amount with pencil barrels. They do it in house for a very reasonable price if you send your barreled action.

This very common. I was in the same boat when I got my first suppressor...all my rifles had sporter contours. Just get an adapter like the one above.

Once you have the suppressor you will probably seek out barrels with 5/8-24 threads when purchasing new rifles so you can eliminate the adapter. As an example, all Christensen Ridgelines all have a 5/8-24 thread, and they also make a 20 inch version in 308.

I sold my M92 because I didn't want to hang a can on that long skinny little barrel. Now days I won't buy a gun that doesn't have 5/8x24 threads and a short enough barrel to keep the length under 26" with suppressor attached.

I have seen those. May be a good solution.

That sounds reasonable too. I just don’t want to face mount it and make it a pia to take off and on. I don’t want to hunt with it on a backpack trip as the barrel will be forever long, but would like to do some range time.

Yeah. I am having some buyers regret. It shoots great but oh well. The can will still be nice to have on other rifles. And I am sure as my kids grow older I will expand the arsenal. But he’ll, even my weatherby accumark 30-378 barrel says the accubrake is 1/2 thread. I guess the fat carbon fiber barrels are the way to go.

They only face mount the brake, not the suppressor itself. Suppressor can still go on and off whenever you like, though the brake (or flash hider if you go that route) is semi-permanent.

What did you end up doing @ryjack70ss?

Can is still in jail. Certified last week. Needless to say I have not decided. It will work on my ar to start if I haven’t decided in a few months. The takedown 22 will go nicely in the savage rascal FV-SR I have for my son for his 8th birthday this summer!!!
