Good to know, now time to start working on the SBR!
Research pretty carefully before you stick that can on an SBR.
What are you referring to here? Pressures?

+ heat and erosion
Obviously varies with suppressor design/materials, caliber and barrel length.
Another option to avoid the SBR route is to permanently affix a "shroud" to the end of the barrel that will give you an overall length that makes it non-SBR. I don't remember where I saw it but it was a slick setup. Say you have a 12" barrel. Make the shroud 4 1/4". If your can is 6" that would give you enough room to screw it on. Yes, it would be some custom work and you'd have to decide if it's worth it but it an option.
Let me see if I can fine the article.
Something like this. (I know this is a pistol. This is just so you get an idea)
I have never heard this before. Reference please?
I couldn't find the article. It wasn't done on an AR. I "think" it was on a CZ scorpion or Sig of the same type build.
My thinking for an AR (again, purely concept here) would be to thread the barrel twice as long as standard. Build a "shroud" that screws on to the back end of the threads, then pin and weld it so it becomes part of the barrel.
If I can find the write-up about the CZ/SIG, it should make more sense.
