    ar15 suppressor dlearance advice

    Thinking of getting a dpt modular for my 6.8spc.

    Overall diameter of the suppressor is 44.5mm

    If i go overbarrel it will go under my handguard approx 50mm.

    My handguard will allow for a 45.8mm can....

    Is fractionlly over 1mm enough clearance? The other option is to get muzzle forward but will increase overall length a bit and they dont look as clean.

    Advice welcome

    If you are worried about clearance it wouldn't be a huge job to chuck the hand guard up in a lathe and create a bit more room with a boring bar ...
