[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1491954, member: 2736"] Wow !! That is a standard 1/2 " thread pitch and Very few gun parts fit that pitch. He must have used a die nut In stead of the lathe. The best thing to do is find a real Smith and have him cut the thread tenon off and re thread with the correct thread pitch. It wont hurt the barrels velocity much if any and it will be done right. I would volunteer to build you a couple of brakes with the correct threads to fit his, But I would be afraid to attach anything to them. Fix the problem, not the symptoms and you will be glad you did. We all hate to give up any barrel length, but the added length with the brake will offset the loss. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
