[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 953792, member: 2736"] All this talk about threaded muzzles failing is silly.[/QUOTE] There is nothing Silly about safety in design of a firearm. Not trying to start an argument but if you think it can't happen you are wrong. I have re threaded barrels that for one reason or another have shot the brake Off and the owners did not think it was silly at all. fortunately I have not been close to a rifle when this happens, I just end up fixing the problem after it was created. Engineers normally design for the worst case scenario.(Plan for the worst and hope for the best) Long Range hunters are notorious for loading to and above the max in order to get the velocity for longer shots. So the logic of designing to worst case scenario is what keeps us safe. I am glad you have not had this problem and hope you never do. My post was intended to help those that don't know how to calculate all of these variables to come up with a safe installation, and rely on there smith to keep them from making a poor or unsafe decision. Sorry I tried to help these folks, but I didn't want them to make the mistakes that others have already made. I hope this doesn't offend you because that was not the intent. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
