[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 1785258, member: 105459"] One thing that has not been mentioned here is the rifle barrels contour. If you have lets say a typical sporter style barrel which will be light in weight (as opposed to say a Varmint or Bull barrel) this barrel muzzle end may be large enough to accept threading. In order to turn lets say a 5/8" X 24 T.P.I. you must turn said barrels O.D. to a dimension of .625" x .5OO" In length. What do you do if your barrels OD is too small. Well you really only have 3 options with this barrel. The first two options are D.Y.I. 1) Turn and face off the barrel's length until you can turn lets say .500" of length with a square shoulder & undercut of a .625" Outside Diameter(O.D.) Thread and re crown your muzzle face. This will remove barrel length until you can establish your thread pitch diameter. 2) Purchase a Clamp On muzzle Break or Suppressor. I myself think that the screws which are used to tighten the clamps are unsightly and detract from your weapons appearance. On the plus side you will not have to concern yourself with the correct alignment(called timing) as you just slip it on and tighten the clamping screws. Additionally if you have another rifle with a similar barrel contour it is an easy manner to switch your devise from one rifle to another. 3) Send each barrel to a competent smith and let them do the work. So please examine your rifles barrels in order to make an informed decision. [/QUOTE]
