[QUOTE="SupressYourself, post: 52338, member: 340"] That's what I ran on my 16" 556 for a year or two until I got a dedicated 556 suppressor. It will change point of impact, but grouping should be the same or possibly better. I've never seen a gun shoot worse with one on. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] One time I couldn't even hit the paper at 100 yards with a gun that was zeroed. Turned out my suppressor was about a 1/4 turn loose. Cinched it down it was good again. Just glad I didn't shoot it more before I noticed. If you're really worried about threads being straight / baffle strikes, just crank it down good, take the upper off and look straight down the bore. It should be obvious if you have a clearance problem. I guess it's theoretically possible to have a bullet that is so unstable that it could hit, but that is pretty unlikely. Just don't go shooting 90 grain 223 out of a 1/14 twist. [/QUOTE]
