Something odd occurred to me while I was cleaning my M1 Garand this evening: the threads on the barrel that are used, in combination with a little screw-on bit and the gas plug, to hold the front sight assembly on the rifle would be ideal for mounting a suppressor.
Obviously, it'd need to be fit properly and with enough room for the gas plug to screw in, but I figure it'd be possible.
Now, a suppressor would probably muck with the pressure curve and might stress the op-rod, but I wonder if that could somehow be compensated for?
Anyone know if such a suppressor exists? I know there are many .30 caliber suppressors on the market, but most of them are for bolt-action guns, not semi-autos, and I've certainly not seen any for the M1.
