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.


Exactly. Like my Sig..

Everyone has different ideas as to what works best for them and I'm certainly no different, but I would never run a 30 caliber suppressor that weighs over 20 ounces, just because it had removable end caps for different calibers, when I could have a 9.7 ounce 30 cal suppressor and use it on everything .30 cal and smaller.

Mine weighs 16.9 oz, but I won't drag it around the wood either. Strictly long range.

I ordered a Thunderbeast Ultra 7 today (.30cal) specifically for my .260 gas gun, the db increase is so minimal it didn't make sense to order the 6.5 and only be able to use it on one gun. Got it for $500 and they finally have them on the shelf  :IBCOOL:

Direct from Thunderbeast, this suppressor is just at $1100 but I won a 50% off certificate at a match.
