the Swedish Mauser used a blank firing attachment. The blank has a wooden bullet. The threaded barrel allowed the blank attachment to screw on. It shredded the wooden bullet.
On the aftermarket you can buy muzzle nuts and flash hiders. It isn’t for a suppressor.

Thanks, never knew that. I've seen any number of crimped .30-06 cases, and have seen wooden dummy cartridges. A wooden bullet would make a much louder pop.

Recall firing blanks in an M-14 both with and without a blank adapter. All that moving machinery made for a crisper bang.
