Subcaliber with TiRant 45

[Mexican_Hippie]

Just want to make sure I stressed 300BO Subsonic. I do not believe they can be used/warrantied for 300 BO Super.

That's why I'm probably going to get an Omega too. That and 30.06.

Good advice. ^^
Why would someone think it would be illegal in any way to put a .45 can on a .30 weapon (or any smaller caliber)?

Did somebody say it would be illegal, if so, I missed itl?

Ok, a few questions then Jeremy M.

If someone was to make a muzzle device (that is not in any way a suppressor), that uses the same threads at the end cap of a Ti-Rant, then that devices parts would be ok to put on a Ti-Rant????

What if a company were to make a small threaded ring that was threaded on the outside the same as the end cap. That ring could be screwed into the suppressor tube to hold the baffles in place, and thus allow shooting with or without the end cap. Would that make a difference? (might have to extend treads a bit farther, and shorten a baffle or so)

I have the feeling that if you had an interchangeable washer type device with a different diameter holes that could be fitted between the cap and the baffles that would be an illegal part, probably considered a baffle of some sort, right???

TS has got me thinking about putting my .45 can on a .300BO build now. Just trying to figure out an above board and perfectly legal way to do that.

This is why I asked that question.

This is why I asked that question.

I believe he was referring to adding something to the silencer, but I could be wrong.

 

[Charlie]

Maybe I read it incorrectly. I got the feeling he was concerned about putting a suppressor made for a .45 cal. weapon on a smaller caliber weapon.

While technically legal it is fairly easy for the ATF to prove intent. I would advise against it. If the company came out with a endcap you would be ok.

FYI no pistol silencer that we have tested on the 300 Blackout came even close to a dedicated 30 cal silencers. Even the cheap silencers were quieter than the pistol silencers.

That is correct AAC and SilencerCo do not warranty the pistol silencers for Supersonic blackout ammo.

That's not the legality question. We were debating why, until Jeremy answered (post 17), some rifle silencers have replaceable endcaps that allow them to be used with multiple calibers, while the ATF considers that illegal for pistol cans.

oops. :-)

Thanks for all the input.

After all the discussion I ended up ordering the TiRant 9. The thing that pushed me over is that the 147gr 9mm can be suitable for defense too and I want it as quiet as possible. Not planning on shooting 45 acp much at all.

 

[breakingcontact]

Good move.

 

[IXLR8]

Excellent choice.

 

[Tejano Scott]

I've been pleased with my TiRant thus far.

Yeah and now you got me lusting over that 9mm build too!

In about a month you're welcome to shoot it any time.
