Weird request...

[Odegard]

I have threaded dozens of Tikka T3 Lite barrels.
If the diameter is between 0.540" and 0.600", I would go with 1/2-28 threads.
If the muzzle diameter is between 0.600 and 0.660", I recommend 9/16-24 threads.
If the muzzle diameter is between 0.660" and 0.800", I recommend 5/8-25 threads.
If the muzzle is over 0.800", 3/4x24 threads can be used.

awesome, thanks for the info! I'll be contacting you in the near future for some Ar-15 upper receiver truing along with the barrel threading(if I decide that I actually need it). Question, do you also true AR-10 receivers?

Yes.

I have 1/2" threaded brakes on my Tikka lite hunting guns..

Marc at Spartan rifles along with many other smiths are the same $ as any other barrel.

5/8-24 is standard for .30 caliber. I checked with some other people and they said the barrel is too thin. Maybe you can get away with 1/2 or 9/16 for a brake. My purpose is for a silencer, which needs a solid and square shoulder. So maybe there's enough material for a brake using a non-standard threading, which doesn't need a solid shoulder, and weighs a lot less than a silencer.

There is NO standard... see post 15

Your suppressor is different ~

There are 9/16-24 direct mount 30 caliber suppressors as well.
There are also mounts that will go on 9/16-24 threads and accept quick detach suppressors.

5/8-24 is the most common and certainly the default threading for 30 caliber muzzle devices even if there is no published standard.
A 30 caliber muzzle device which is NOT threaded 5/8-24 would certainly be non-standard.

I agree that there is no written standard.
Just go do a survey of the top 50 selling 30 caliber muzzle devices and note what the threads they have.
5/8-24 threads will be on at least 90% or more of them.

Even though there is no ISO published standard for threads vs caliber, being the most common can certainly be the reason for someone calling them the standard.

Would you similarly argue that 1/2-28 is not the standard thread for 223 and 5.56 caliber barrels?

[diver160651]

[ar15barrels]

First the AR15 actually have mil standards?

No they don't.
There is no mil standard for the AR15.
There are only Mil standards for the M16 and M4.

I was talking about 22 caliber barrels, not a specific weapons system or family.
Would you argue that 1/2-28 is not the standard for 22 caliber barrels because there is no specific written standard that says 22 caliber barrels should all use 1/2-28 threads?
Because you should make that argument to support your similar argument that the 30 caliber standard is not 5/8-24 because there is no published standard.

[diver160651]

No they don't.
There is no mil standard for the AR15.
There are only Mil standards for the M16 and M4.

Yep got me on my own point I should have said M16/ M4.. Of course there is no mil standard for for the civilian product..

of course we are arguing this into the dirt....

My point was there is NO written standard as per Sigstroker

Yet 5/8-24 is absolutely the most common threading for 30 caliber barrels as well as 308 or 7.62x51 chambered barrels across all types of firearms.

It's OK that there is no written standard.
It's still the standard because it's the most common.

[sigstroker]

There are 9/16-24 direct mount 30 caliber suppressors as well.
There are also mounts that will go on 9/16-24 threads and accept quick detach suppressors.

In the silencer shootin' community, most everyone considers 5/8-24 to be the .30 cal "standard". And by ".30 cal" that means not .22, not 9mm, not .45, etc. Even though 6.5 mm is not .30, it's generally considered the same, although there are now a couple 6.5 cans out there.

At any rate, I conflated threading for silencer with threading for brake. But OP has found a solution it seems, so all is good.

Although I'm sure he would have been perfectly fine with the Witt Machine clamp-on brake. West Desert Shooter says it's very effective, so he may want their screw-on version anyway.

looks like he's raised his prices substantial. Nice looking breaks though. I've thought about threading the barrel, just not for sure on how much material is there to do it. Also I may re-barrel shortly after I get the rifle, depending on its performance. It's a Sporter barrel after all. Clamp on, seems like the best investment for my circumstances at the moment imo.

true, been mulling over just leaving it be like you suggested. It'll help me on recoil management fundamentals at the same time. I've probably been spoiled with my other rifles. I'm hoping following my shots in won't be too much of a pain in the ***. I'm sure a good bi-pod preload will help.

Sounds like you want a target gun and bought a hunting gun.

Just get it over with, buy a Bartlein, have it installed.
