I am gonig to build 2 suppressors after I receive the Stamps from the ATF.
One of the guns I want to install it on is my Encore with a 28" barrel in 7mm Rem Mag. Due to the barrel length, which I would like to keep, I have been thinking of making the suppressor go part way over the barrel. The barrel is approx. .8" in diameter so my thought is to turn down the muzzle end of the barrel for about 3" then thread it for the suppressor on the end of the the reduced barrel shank closest to the receiver. The portion of the barrel towards the muzzle and in front of the threads would be turned down to allow the suppressor to screw onto the threads.
This will give me the most internal volume when compared to an end cap adapter that screws on to the threads at the muzzle.
I know little about suppressors so would like some input on this idea.
