    Suppressor to fit over large diameter barrel?

    I'm on the lookout for an lightweight over barrel suppressor that will fit over my barrel that's 24mm in diameter, so far I haven't found one that will accomadate a large barrel.

    Ideas other than going for a muzzle forward can?

    Let me know the calibre and I will see if we can get you a Nielsen sonic or stealth (we can check the specs)

    got a std size DPT one on my fat barrel varmit rifle..17mm thread from memory...looks the part and does a great job of taming the blast.... it actually looks more in balance than on a std fatness barrel..more like a .22lr with old school can.

    I specifically asked gunsmith to leave as much of muzzle alone as he could...why muck around with great accuracy??? certainly did a great job of it. not sure if could go to 24mm but no harm in asking them directly....

    atec h2 fits over my 65Saum barrel whose diameter is 23mm
    the A2 manual says max diameter is 23.7 for the H2 so not enough for your needs

    Will a Hardys work? I thought they were slightly larger to accomodate their carbon wrapped barrels.

    Gunworks used to custom make them to suit if you wanted, could be worth giving them a call to see if they still do.

    Maniatis, or hardys tend to have bigger barrel accommodations. I think greystone can also make with the oversized tube.
