You run a 5.56 suppressor on a 7.62x39 AK?
Give me time to edit my post. At work posting on my phone. Go back and re-read.
I'm pretty sure

said it's not worth suppressing an AK. I'll take his word for it.

It's a lot of work. When all said and done it's not as quiet as one would want.
I think that's part of it. The round doesn't suppress well from the get-go.
Plus all the areas where gasses escape. It basically just takes the OH **** factor out of the shorter ones.

Yep, pretty much all that stuff. AKs are made loose (most of them) and gas comes out everywhere, lot's of back pressure, etc. Probably about half the noise of an AK comes out the muzzle. I'm no expert, but in my experiences this is what I have seen. Work really hard and pay a lot of money to get sub par results. I did have another smith come in here recently to see if I had some 7.62x39 brass ammo he could get so he could load subs.
Loading your own ammo to demo your silencer is cheating by the way. Of course it's quiet when you have 230 gr lead bullets going 800 fps.

There is a purpose built AK for suppressiom, can't remember who made it but interested to see if they are quieter than normal ones
Is that round going to cycle the action?

If it was purpose built (Ive seen them just never touched one) it could be made correctly. Like it was made for that purpose. Same thing with the subs, if it were made to cycle subs it might. Lot's of things don't cycle subs and I would imagine a standard AK wouldn't either. There again, I don't know for sure, never tried.
If memory serves me correct is was Sinelcerco and Rifle Dynamics. It was a 300 blk krink.
What got me is they didn't even thread the barrel. From the looks of it a US machine gun adapter was used instead. But like non lib, I've never held one.
