Suppressing 14x1LH Barrels, Bolt Guns and Suppressor Sales Today

[GS455]

I bought a HUXWRX Flow Range 36 Ti ( as my 1st can) and am enjoying it.  My goal was to get something that would be able to go on a couple 8mm guns (M76, M49) .  I actually found a guy that makes a direct thread Hub adapter that will allow fixation to an M76 Flash Hider (here soon).

1) 
I’ve been looking for direct to Hub thread adapters to go on some AKs i.e.  ComBloc 14x1LH barrels (M77, M70B1, VZ2008, Dracos, others).  But have only found a few so far.  I would have thought many would be available out there. I may eventually invest in FH to Hub adapters to quickly swap but that stuff really adds up at what I feel are pretty ridiculous prices per rifle (for what should be low dollar adapters).  Yea I understand adding a KNS piston may be indicated.  For M76/M77 there’s a guy that makes finer adjust gas adjust piston-cups.  As far as non-concentric issues, well, I’m hoping the 36ti diameter will be generous enough so as not to fear probs on 30cal barrels.  HUXWRX is pretty vague about what they “approve”.  Any of these GTG?

2)
I do want to get another traditional baffled can specific for use on my bolt guns (RPR in .308, RAR in x39, possibly looking at a .223 bolt gun as well).  None in 8mm. What would be the best out there nowadays?  Since backpressure is not a concern is there much difference?  How to identify what’s out “there” on the interwebs?  

3)
I can’t help but wonder, since the Hearing Protection (or SHUSH) Act is basically part of Elon’s (err umm Donald’s) beloved Big Beautiful Bill and has a good chance of maintaining through the Senate, Are we all waiting for it to clear/pass?   Of course, if it does there will be a massive run on suppressors and back orders will go through the roof for maybe a year before things settle down, new players hop into the market and, I would assume, prices plummet .  IOW are you waiting ?

1- Rearden makes good stuff.  It’s all I use and mine are Q Plan B compatible with either FHD or R2S muzzle devices on my guns.  I don’t do direct thread on anything, although I will if I ever get a .22 can. 

2 - If back pressure is not a concern, Silencerco Omega 300 is tough to beat.  More cans are being made that reduce back pressure and most compromise some decibel reduction.  They are well worth it IMO if you are using a gas operated semi-auto and are a lot more effective than the gas-busting charging handle gimmicks.  Gassy face is such a drag.  

3 - I’m not holding my breath over the HPA becoming reality.  That said, my NFA guy is holding a can for me (that I have paid for) for a bit to see what happens.  If the HPA goes up in smoke, I’ll just pay my $200 but if it passes, I’ll be glad I held off.  Plus, suppressors will completely vanish due to 20x demand for (I fear) a lot longer than a year.

Thanks for the feedback.  I looked at the  Silencerco Omega 300.  Description says :  It ships with a 5/8×24 Bravo Direct Thread Mount, Bravo Basic Tool, Bravo Multi Tool, and a .30 cal Bravo Anchor Brake.

That's good but is it Hub adapter compatible?

Yes.  

HUB = Bravo = 1.375-24 

I use a Rearden Atlas mount on my Omega 300.  

Some of my gun barrels are 1/2-28 and some are 5/8-24, but all have Rearden Q Plan B compatible muzzle devices that work with the Atlas mount.

FYI - the Omega 300 is a .30 caliber can.  You mentioned 8mm, which I assume would be a no-go.

Bolt guns for a traditional baffled can would be RPR in .308, RAR in x39, possibly looking at a .223 bolt gun as well.  None in 8mm.
