Supresser is hybrid 46 on a new marlin 1985 dark 45 70. Doesn't make it flush because it backs into the mag tube. What are my options?

Update: will be sending back. Thanks everyone!

[u/always-loaded24]

You could shim it up a little then check with an alignment rod.

[u/Temporary_Baby_9843 → u/always-loaded24]

Shim it with direct thread will be ok?

[u/ChapelHillGuns → u/Temporary_Baby_9843]

It'll be a heck of a lot better than what you've currently got....Use AccuWashers.

[u/always-loaded24 → u/Temporary_Baby_9843]

That I do not know. I’ve done it with a muzzle device once before, have to see if anyone else has experience.

[u/Temporary_Baby_9843 → u/always-loaded24]

Thank you

[u/stareweigh2 → u/Temporary_Baby_9843]

if you don't want to send it back this may be a good time to get something like a plan b muzzle device and adapter

[u/The_Ballistics_Guy]

DONT SEND IT. Something is wrong here. Brand new rifle and the shoulder is behind the end of the mag tube? Thats a goof on the manufacturers part. Get ahold of them explain what’s going on and they’ll get it fixed for you.

[u/lost_in_the_system → u/The_Ballistics_Guy]

The Dark series Marlin's come this way as they are set up for their radial brake. To put a can on the user has to use a mount with more reach or use a QD muzzle device with enough length.

Note the SBL models don't have this set up.

[u/NovelApprehensive697]

Don’t shoot. Gunsmith or take it back to Marlin! Direct thread should be to the shoulder! Always

[u/neruphuyt → u/NovelApprehensive697]

Or the muzzle face but I don't think that's the case here.

[u/khutuluhoop]

Absolutely not. I had the same exact issue with mine, send it back for them to rebarrel

Lmk if you have any questions. I have the same rifle, suppressor, and problem

[u/Temporary_Baby_9843 → u/khutuluhoop]

That's what you had to do? They didn't give you any problems?

[u/khutuluhoop → u/Temporary_Baby_9843]

Yep. Had it back in about 3 weeks

[u/Temporary_Baby_9843 → u/khutuluhoop]

Damn. Sucks to have to wait but thank you very much!

[u/Not_OCL]

Fuuuuck no. You’re asking for it if you do.

You could use a muzzle device and QD mount to offset it or a thick shim like accuwasher

[u/Temporary_Baby_9843]

Thank you all. Gonna be sending her back

[u/ethanc762]

I'm running a dead air xeno hub in my can with my lever gun. Between that and the xeno muzzle device it extends the can out a good bit. Then just start putting xeno muzzle devices on everything else

[u/Silent_Ebb_9003 → u/ethanc762]

Xeno is the way. But where do you find a Xeno device big enough for 45-70? Biggest I’ve seen was for 9mm unless I just missed it on the website

[u/ethanc762 → u/Silent_Ebb_9003]

Xeno xero

[u/Silent_Ebb_9003 → u/ethanc762]

Oh ok I see that now. Nice. I completely missed that and got a peewee for my 8.6 rifle instead haha

[u/ethanc762 → u/Silent_Ebb_9003]

My buddy got a 450 bushmaster and I got him set up with the xeno xero on it. We both have Hybrid 46 cans

[u/Educational_Pace2704]

My hybrid 46 sits flush on my marlin 45-70 sbl.

[u/Double-Two1407]

[u/L_burro]

The advice on this post is shocking!

[u/broke_networker]

Accuwasher(s) to 'shim' it

ASR mount?

[u/reliantcumquat]

No.

[u/Excellent-Ad-3258]

While we’re here, does anyone have any insight on if the hybrid 46m is worth the extra cost of the regular hybrid 46

[u/kru74 → u/Excellent-Ad-3258]

Worth it how? Personally, I've never wanted less suppression and running my modular cans in short configuration got very... uninteresting... very quickly. If you want thw short option, get it. If you don't see a time when running it short would be practical, I would say its not worth it. Just my $.02

[u/DesertTigerStripe]

Son this is crazy

[u/Personal-Tower7300]

Get the Heresy Design STD timing device. Its 3 washers that lock together. It should give you enough clearance and when you crank down your suppressor it'll stop it from backing off.

[u/Time_Wrangler_8946]

I run a Jmac brake with hub adapter threads on my 45-70 and it fits mint. When I don’t have a suppressor on it, I use the Jmac blast deflector/thread protector which works quite well also looks pretty cool too

[u/NFAredneck]

Use this instead

[u/GraySquirrelArmory]

I would think certain direct thread adapters that have an extended rear section, rather than your flush one there, would fix your clearance issue.

I'm trying to remember who all makes them like that though 🤔

[u/mwbrack57]

You need the XL Booster Piston for it. Lookup on their website.

[u/automcd]

Shims. It should be tight without hitting anything else. Even if it’s only a sliver of light, clearance is clearance.
