Barrel Threading

[Reaper33]

I will give it a try. Thank you.

Most welcome sir, you will love it and for the price point its virtually impossible to beat!

That looks like a baffle strike in the making. Ain't no way in hell that would be put on my gun.

Exactly what I was thinking.

For $145, you can have a threaded barrel. 10/22 barrel changes are pieces of cake.

Nah its super solid and really does work great. The gun has been dropped, road around in the truck, etc. and the mount stays super secure.

It really is the best/easiest/cheapest option if your barrel isn't threaded.

#1 The bore is seldom in the exact middle of the barrel. That's why when a barrel is threaded an indicator rod is placed inside the barrel and then dialed in. The outside of the barrel is not used to indicate.

#2 Anything that slips over the barrel is going to have concentricity problems. Especially when you use a single set screw to secure the mickey mouse object you are trying to attach.

Well hot diggidy dog. Someone is feeling froggy haha so I’ll jump back .

I won’t argue any of what you just said bc it’s not wrong. In fact you are very much correct, it’s the best way to do it. Don’t think anyone would say different.

With that said as an alternative several companies did the R&D on an adapter that goes over the end and I personally have prob 1-2k ish rounds through it and there are no issues. Is it the absolute best way…no. Does it work great and have no issues to the point several companies sell it with virtually no negative reviews…yes.

Some stuff isn’t for everyone

It’s all good!

I checked the reviews on Midway. 2.5 isn’t a great review!

Let's not argue I did order the adaptor and if I don't like it, I will get the barrel threaded.

Best of luck to your baffle stack lol

Was wondering if it is possible to thread my weatherby vanguard factory contour 4 barrel to 5/8 x 24 or does it require a thicker barrel to be threaded.

Thanks

I threaded my 7mag Tikka T3 lite barrel 1/2x28. Can't do 5/8x24 as there was not enough meat on the barrel. But, no problem for me since I run the Sig SRD quick disconnect can. Just put a 1/2x28 mount on it.
