eddoakley Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 .243 but I would imagine they should all be the same? Nope, not 1/2''. Tried that first (as I have one) but its nowhere near. Guess I will have to dig the thread gauges out tomorrow. Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Possibly 5/8th's? This was the thread on my Midland .308, until I had it changed to the more common 1/2" UNF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter.123 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Ed they are 5/8ths I think, if it's the same as the 223 I was looking at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddoakley Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Well i got the calipers and pitch gauges out and its 16x1!! And there is a horrible raised "shoulder" type arrangement which to me seems stupid as any over barrel mod would be left with a good few mm clearance to get the bushing over this ugly"lump" on the barrel. Anyone here rethreaded a (wildcat) mod? Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter.123 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Can't you re thread the barrel ed? I knew it was an awkward thread size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddoakley Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Not my gun and the owner was told by someone that he shouldnt re thread and now has that thought in his head and wont do it. Just trying to help the guy out and its turning into a bit of a nightmare. Told him that if he gets it cut to 1/2'' unf its much easier all round but he doesnt want to. He doesnt want to buy a brand new mod either despite being told that something threaded 16x1 will be like hens teeth Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter.123 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Probably factory threaded and the edge 223 I looked at seemed so poorly done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
