I'd like to build a 300blk upper and have a suppressor adapter permanently attached and pinned per Federal Regulations to create a barrel at around 16.25" - 16.50".
I'm leaning toward a YHM Phantom .308 suppressor w/QD adapter.
Adco does work like this, and I'm sure there are others.
I contacted Yankee Hill Machine via e-mail and asked if this permanent mounting of the suppressor adapter would void the warranty on the suppressor. The answer was no, it wouldn't void the suppressor warranty, but would void the adapter warranty.
It was stated that there is a "compression washer" between the barrel and the adapter that could no longer be removed for service, as is expected under the adapter warranty, and would void the adapter warranty.
Not to sound stupid but, so what? What does the "crush washer" do but adjust the indexing of the adapter? If the adapter is fitted and pinned, it's alignment won't change.
I know that everything behind the adapter is trapped and can't be removed or replaced without destroying the adapter.
OK, unless something is damaged or I decide to SBR the gun, what's the difference?
I don't really need an SBR, or the additional time, and cost at this time.
Does anyone know why I shouldn't do this build with a permanently attached adapter?
