Shooting a rifle without its Suppressor on for a Canada hunt?

[MatthewSeidel]

I have a hunt in Canada and can't use my suppressor. I'm hoping to avoid a muzzle brake as I don't think it will be needed since I'm using a 6.5 284 norma. Can I shoot directly out of my threaded barrel without any harm long-term? Accuracy concerns? I'd probably remove the threaded suppressor attachment to save a little weight as well. Thank you for your help couldn't find an answer to this in the searches.

It'll be fine, I'd recommend a thread protector.

I would suggest also reconfirming your zero. If you can’t find a thread protector, use electrical tape.

If it's an issue to be firing without a suppressor, a lot more people are gonna be in for a surprise.

Thread protector and sight in your rifle. Enjoy the old style that man has been doing since Cortez conquered Tenochtitlan. Good ole fashion boom stick.

Thanks my brain fart has passed. Duh, the threading is on the outside of the barrel. Not sure why I was so stuck on that this morning. Like looking for my hat when I'm wearing it.

Why can't you use your suppressor?

From everything I have seen they are illegal in Canada.

Looks like you're correct. I thought Canada had gone with the European take on suppressors. Bummer.
