Your not the only one who's had a moment as I know I have! As for the damage to the can, who knows, there may be structural damage internally that you can't see but for someone to fire multiple rounds through a can like you did, I'd sure like to know what brand it is because its VERY WELL built!!! Lots of cans it only takes one baffle strike and ugly things happen! _________________________ Been there, done that many times and have the DD214 to prove it....

Only accuracy issue I have had with my direct thread(2), was using a thread(custom S.S.) adapter between muzzle thread and suppressor threads to save time moving can between two different size threaded barrels. Will not do that again.

SubpaR Seasoned Member Registered: 09/27/15 Posts: 455 Loc: Hays, KS	Originally Posted By: rickyb Well I bought some Federal matchking shells and shot the gun without the suppressor but with tomb brake on. The gun grouped 1.5”. So I shot with the suppressor on three times and hit paper once. Got to looking at suppressor and I had a 6.5 suppressor on a 308 gun. Is that not the dummest thing you can do. And I get the privilege of telling you guys I did it. I thought I knew what suppressor I had but it says plain as day 6.5. I can’t see any baffle strikes or damage of any kind to it. So now I will find my 308 suppressor and see how it groups. I’m going call manufacturer and tell them what I have done. Without seeing any damage did I ruin this suppressor? That is the most honest statement I have ever read on the internet. I still have some hope for humanity.
