I've got a new host for a TacSol Cascade. It's a 10/22 Takedown with a factory threaded barrel. Problem is, there isn't sufficient face to index this can. Combined with the way TacSol makes a recess to the thread mount. You can see in these pictures.
Hope the red arrows show you where the can is recessed at the back end. The front sight of the rifle doesn't have a large enough face diameter to index to, so the suppressor tightens against the upper portion of the front sight. This pitches the can downward of course and we lose concentricity.
And so I'd be headed for a baffle or cap strike unless I can find a way for this setup to index right.
We were about to chuck this barrel in a lathe and take off some of the front sight so that its face would fit and index inside that recess on the Cascade, but if I could find a spacer/washer that was machined precise enough, that would be my first preference. I wouldn't want it to be too thick either; .125" tops maybe.
So, suggestions please!
