Okay, I have all sorts of ways and ideas to suppress a Garand. I've even had a customer, about 6 years ago or so, do it with a Mini-G. Michigan now allows suppressors for hunting, that means I want in the game. What I'm hearing about, no pun intended, is that there is some sort of pressure or gas wave that blows back into your eyes when doing this to a Garand.
Can anyone help me with this? Anyone know why this is? I only know what I know and I've not threaded the first suppressor on a firearm.

Isnt that a issue with any semi auto suppressed rifle?
Couldn't you just chop down a T-37 Flash hider and machine some outer threads on it to mate up with a suppressor?
Then just adjust your gas plug and go.
At least that's how I might approach that problem. YMMV.
I don't know. I don't know enough about this suppression science yet. I'm just getting started.
Perhaps this can be done BUT what of the "blow back" people say they get when suppressing these rifles? I'm trying to understand the why's for this and also if suppressor design influences it.Quote:

This guy talks about the gas "in the face".

I did some reading on this years ago and from what I remember blowback of a suppressed semi auto is the nature of the beast. I beleive it can be tamed some with a adjustable gas screw, but I am no expert
