I'm pretty sure it's not possible on this rifle, but how does one determine how much room needed for a suppressor on a rifle with a front sight?

Thanks!
 
Keeping open sights on a rifle with a suppressor is a bit of a challenge & compromise, if an over barrel (best for OA shorter length & support of the suppressor) very very difficult & you end up with a strange setup which is hard to use, if you use a Can (end of barrel after moving sight back perhaps?) you still need extra high sights to make up for the bulk of the suppressor, a light weight or streamlined muffler most likely won’t be up to Magnum pressure.

I have an Oceania Defence Titanium, on one of my smaller caliber rifles, when I picked this up I thought it was made of paper Mache it was crazy light & doesn’t effect the handling at all, more so if you shorten the barrel.

To add that I believe you only need the length of the thread to be the same as the diameter to get the full strength, this on a Can.

Good Morning x84958
I have read your post about Jamy Traut and your hunt in Caprivi. I am planning such a hunt for 2026, Oct with Jamy.
Just a question , because I will combine Caprivi and Panorama for PG, is the daily rate the same the week long, I mean the one for Caprivi or when in Panorama it will be a PG rate ?
thank you and congrats for your story.
Best regards
Philippe from France

I have read on AH you had some time in Vic Falls after hunting. May I ask you with whom you have planned / organized the Chobe NP tour and the different visits. (with my GF we will have 4 days and 3 nights there)
Thank in advance, I will appreciate your response.
