I recently purchased a CGS Hyperion Suppressor in 7.62. My plan is to use this on 5 different rifles. I have a 17hmr that has a 1/2 x 20 threading, A browning X bolt 7 mm-08 with a M 13 x 1.25 threading, a Christiansen arms Mesa with a 1/2 x 28 threading, a Winchester model 70 in .270 that’s not yet threaded, and a PSA AR that already comes with a 5/8 x 24 threading. CGS makes a 5/8 x 24 braked adapter which is supposed to make “optimal concentricity and retention” with the shallow tapered joints of the Hyperion's threading connection. I would like to use these adapters with each of the before mentioned rifles.
My question is: To get to the 5/8 x 24 threading for these adapters, I will need to add a thread adapter converter to the original rifle threading. My fear is that the tolerance of the threading of the initial thread converter might throw this off and I could ruin my suppressor.
The company that I’ve been looking at for these thread adapter converters is Hughes Precision. Has anyone heard of them? What do you guys think about what I’m trying to accomplish here? I spoke to a gunsmith about converting my Christiansen arms Mesa to 5/8 x 24 from 1/2 x 28, and he said that the barrel contour is too thin to convert, and that I would need to use a thread adapter converter. I’m having him look at a Winchester model 70 to thread it, but he said the same thing may happen depending on the barrel’s thickness; he may not be able to get 5/8 x 24 threading on it, and may have to use an adapter, I’ll just have to wait and see. Long story short, do you guys see an issue with using a thread adapter converter, then using the CGS braked adapter to then install the suppressor on these rifles? Should I lock them in with blue loctite? What company do you guys use for thread Adapter converters that you trust are machined concentric? Last question, do you see an issue shooting a 17hmr through a 30 caliber suppressor?
