My original request: What's involved with tuning gas-operated rifles to back pressure from adding a suppressor? There's got to be more to this than just screwing a can onto the muzzle.... I have to agree that using an M1A for home defense has some significant 'what-if's' but then there's...

The Vortex Venom? Comes with a Weaver / Picatinny mount. Pretty much any vendor – on-line or brick and mortar – ought to be able to help you with that. Otherwise, tune your browser-of-choice to EGW. They specialize in mounts of all kinds for optics.

Good to know, thanks.

Why Thank You SIR! I would never have guessed there's threads behind that compensator! Never had desire to get deeper into how this item is engineered 'till I watched this video earlier today! (Glad too I didn't up'n'sell it a few years ago....)

What's the path to follow for suppressing a Gen I SOCOM? IIRC its integral compensator is there to keep it out of the SBR category... meaning muzzle's not threaded. So a new barrel would be the shortest route?
