Supressor mount conundrum...

[Mullet Hunter]

I have an issue with one of my rifles not being able to mount a supressor to the key mount “three lug” dead air quick detach mount. The handgurd is 9” with a 9” barrel. When I screw the key mount on to the barrel it seats down past the hand guard thus not allowing me to make the connection with the supressor and the mount. The hand guard is too skinny to accept the diameter of the supressor also. I’m wondering what options I have? Do they make an adapter that would thread on and give me more barrel length? I am about 1/2” to maybe 5/8” away from being able to lock on the supressor. I know I could just get a shorter handguard however, if their is a coupler of some sort that would allow me to lengthen the barrel a bit then I would rather do that. Anyone know where I can find a barrel extention? Or am I off base in left field?

if it is a free floating hand guard you can take it to a smith or machine shop and have them remove the 5/8" from the hand guard and dress the raw end with a Birchwood Casey aluminum black pen. oneshot might do it if you call and ask him

if it is a .5.56 barrel... isn't it 1/2X28? that one is 5/8X24.

I second what Jester says, remove the excess handguard. depending on what kind it is and how in love you are with it.

I had a similiar, I just took about 1/4" off the handguard end and touched it up...
