PTR 9KT form 1 can options

[USMC1911]

Just got a PTR 9KT (sbr on the way already) and looking at a dedicated form 1 can for said. Anyone have one they like for this particular application? I only have a drill press so really limited on machining but have had success with several other form 1 cans just not in the last several months. Supplies and suppliers have changed a lot in that timeframe. If no good options I will get in line and wait for a Omega 9k or similar but really would like to play with this before summer is over. Input is much appreciated.

Drilled using a 13/32" bit and clipped is very quiet on 9mm. Throw a Cherry bomb on the barrel and run the plan b adapter.

Rugged 9mm unless you plan on using 45 out of it

Not a bad option. Looks pretty heavy at 20oz+ but I already am committed to the cherry bomb/plan b on most everything not 22lr so definitely a plus.

I'm pretty sure that weight isn't correct as the 8" one is only 2 ounces heavier per their site. That and you'll be removing material. They didn't have the shorter one back when I purchased a few of theirs, but I'd prefer it over my 8" overbuilt 9mm can I did up using their then 223/308 kit.

I get the desire for quicker gratification, but a form 1 can is still a $200 tax stamp. I really hate to see people spend their hard earned money and not be happy.

Make sure to change your rollers. The stock rollers are NOT suppressor rated. The new rollers may require some modification to fit.

I believe it's actually the locking piece that may need to be replaced.

Either way I'd contact PTR. I believe I read that the rollers need to be changed to a larger size then the headspace needs to be checked and probably a new locking piece.

Contacting PTR is never a bad idea. I have converted PTR's to FA and shoot them suppressed and unsuppressed. What he needs is an 80deg locking piece.

Check bolt gap after replacing locking piece. If gun doesn't function, you can use different rollers. The bolt gap will dictate which direction. A friend had to go to a +8 set of rollers, but it often isn't necessary. The bolt gap will tell you what size roller you need to go to, larger or smaller. According to RCM, quite a few of the PTR K's have had up to .007" undersized locking piece pockets. If that's the case, you can mill the locking piece to fit, or send it to PTR to have it fit.
