Barrel threading...

We'll see if I'll finally get a response to a post...

I want to make a muzzle brake compensator from my 300 win mag Remington 700. I'm pretty sure I know what I need to do to make it, the only thing I'm not sure about is threading the barrel.
On a stock Remington barrel, is there enough meat for threading? The muzzle measures approximately 5/8", so i was thinking about machining a 5/8 x 18 threaded fit.
Is this an ok size? Since I plan on making the brake as well, I could use any pitch I want if the thread depth needs to be shallower.
I just don't know if I should have a heavy barrel do this with.

You have made 5 posts and started 4 threads.

You have had numerous members asking you questions about your Glock in the thread you started and never came back to, members are/were waiting for you to respond.

The 870 thread about sights either needs a BTT(bump to top), that's your job, or no one had an answer for you.

The thread about differences in 870's had several replies.

You have not responded in any way to the members that have tried to help you. What's do you mean by your statement, "We'll see if I'll finally get a response to a post..."?

Your barrel is thick enough, finer threads will leave the wall thickness a bit heavier.

If your cutting the threads single point on a lathe, and making the brake, it doesnt have to be any standard size. Turn the end of the muzzle down as little as possable, cut the threads, then make the brake to match. If your making both sides, it can be anything you want.

You can just use the standard AR10 thread (5/8-24), then you will have an abundance of muzzle devices to choose from, should you want to just buy one.

Side note - use a fine thread pitch if you do a random size/make your own brake. If you use 5/8"-18, it will be more difficult to time the brake.

Thanks for the info!
Sorry about the late response, I'm new to forums and had some trouble navigating the site. I didn't realize I had replies.
