[QUOTE="USA_774, post: 2097005, member: 28600"] I bought a Remington 700 LSS in a 300 RUM on this forum about a decade ago. About 5 years ago, I decided to put a muzzle break on it. The gunsmith I found to do it did a great job. He fabricated the brake to look like it is part of the barrel. He also made me a thread protector that looks like there is not threaded piece on the end of the barrel. Everything was great until I bought a suppressor. I bought my Rugged suppressor because it would handle the 300 RUM. I tried the Rugged 5/8 x 24 muzzle break on there and it was too big. I thought he must have had to do it 1/2 x 28 because of the size of the barrel. After buying a 1/2 x 28 device I determined it was too small! So I haven't measured it yet, but if I had to guess it is either 9/16 or some metric threads. So where do I go from here? Find some kind of adapter or rebarrel the rifle? I know, I don't post much on this forum. But I have read it for years and I am impressed with some of the knowledge here. I am not really looking to take the action and start over completely, but have considered replacing the pretty laminated stock with something a little more weather proof. Thank you in advance for your comments. Chris [/QUOTE]
