You are so all over the place. You don't even know what the OP means. The OP of this thread asked about the process of buying a suppressor LOL. Not about end caps.

My advise was to another person in the thread not the OP and was spot on. What I said is a 30 cal can is not as effective as a 22 cal can on a 22 cal rifle. That is a fact.

Quit twisting stuff and learn how to read what was said.

What you said made perfect sense to me.

Where did you find it at that price?

I know the owners of the Long Range Reality TV show on the Sportsmans Channel. The Sig sponsor sold it to me for 1/2 price...

The suppressor brings the rifle down to a hearing safe level. And als reduces recoil a good amount. Like a hearing safe muzzle brake.

Really? You responded directly to this question:

Makes sense, wonder of someone makes one that you can change the size of the cap on the end?

So now you're saying you knew about suppressors that do this, but answered some other question instead? BS, that's not twisting anything; I think you're a little too full of yourself to admit you didn't know something. But, if NW-GSP wants to believe you anyway, I guess there's no point in me continuing.

My bad it wasn't the OP, but that doesn't change the point.

Some suppressors have threaded bodies and removable threaded caps.

So you can change calibers I guess ? Why not buy a 7.62 suppressor that fits up to a 30 caliber ?

A 5.56 barrel has 1/2-28 threads and a 7.62 barrel has 5/8-24 threads.  If you have silencer that works on multiple calibers and want to direct thread you have to switch.
What's the most dangerous thing said in the US Navy? -- A Chief Petty Officer saying "Watch this s$%^!!"

"I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: 'I served in the United States Navy.'"

On my Sig, you can have 1/2-28 and 5/8 threads made for the quick detach system for the Sig Suppressor. One Can for multiple rifles, one price, except the cost of the QD part.

A smaller end cap but larger bore baffle yields minimal change compared to a suppressor with the correct size baffle and exit hole.

For me, if I wanted a suppressor that covered a range of calibers I'd purchase a top quality .30 cal can and use that on everything .30 cal and smaller.  Rimfires are the exception, rimfire specific suppressors are quieter on rimfires than centerfire suppressors are on rimfires.

As for thread pitch, if you are having the barrel threaded you can have them cut whatever thread you want to match your suppressor.  In the case of a pre thread barrel, if it doesn't match your suppressor, they make thread adapters that will allow you to screw your 5/8-24 thread suppressor on a 1/2-28 barrel.  My SAS Barricade is 5/8-24 but I use it on my .223's because I have an adapter that reduces it down.
