[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1646771, member: 2736"] .648 (Recommended minimum) leaves .135 Wall thickness. This ls just below the minimum engineered wall thickness of .137 Not only is the 5/8 x 24 safe, but recommended. anything less will cut into the barrel wall thickness and depending on the cartridge intensity could be dangerous in my opinion. As stated I recommend .150 wall thickness but you can use the engineered minimum and would still be ok depending on thread fit and the amount of support offered by the muzzle brake design. You can go to a 28 or 32 TPI and increase the wall thickness by a small amount, but most of the accessories are 5/8 x 24 TPI. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
