First time failure with Thunder Beast Arms Ultra 9 DT GEN 2 and Silencer Co accessories.

So Scheels recommended an adapter that the suppressor manufacturer doesn't recommend, and then proceeds to tell you that for liability reasons they can't install the adapter they recommend? Sounds fishy right there. The TBAC CB adapters work perfectly fine, and a TBAC direct thread suppressor is simply the suppressor with a CB mount rocksetted in it.

Was the Cooper rifle muzzle thread 5/8x24?

Sounds like a real bummer. I am curious/ confused though: what is an "adapter ring"?

Tunderbeast are the ONLY suppressors I run. Four of them. There is a reason that TBAC is the most used and winningest can on the PRS circuit.

Ultra 7 Gen 1 6.5mm
Ultra 9 Gen 1 .308
Dominus .308
Ultra 7 Gen 2 6.5mm
All using the TBAC CB

Except for the Ultra 7 Gen 2, I have thousands of rounds down three of my cans. Not a single issue. Swap them around between several rifles all the time.

You should not have mixed and matched the SilercerCo brake with the TBAC can. Not even close to the mating surfaces of TBAC CB mount. Sounds like you were trying to build the Cadillac in the Johnny Cash song "One Piece at a Time". Was your barrel threaded 1/2"×28 like the Cooper Backcountry? There is a reason TBAC only makes a .223cal version in the 1/2"×28 threads. 5/8"×24 and bigger threads are bored for both the .308 or 6.5mm cans. If your "adapter" was a 1/2"×28 to 5/8"×24, that should have been a big red flag as to why TBAC didn't make the right CB for your application. If that is not it, don't know what to tell you. All TBAC cans come with one CB of your choice if they are not the DT model. So there should have been another red flag.

Sorry, but I can see why TBAC and SilencerCo wouldn't warranty their products, there were no defects in them. Just an installation issue.
