    Measure the threads only, peak to peak, or trough to trough, not to the shoulder. Do it over the greatest span of threads you can.

    Over how many threads? 12mm over 12 threads would be 16x1 if its not that then could be anything especially if done by a home gamer.

    Looking at the photo you'd be looking at a bit over 11mm over a bit over 11 threads which would be more like 1mm pitch. I'd guess as @scotty said above.

    12mm over 12 threads so I guess 16x1 is the winner?

    Looks like it....in your photo it almost looks like the the thread is tapered? or maybe just a trick of the camera.
    Regardless if 11mm=11 threads and 12mm = 12 threads it will be 1mm pitch.

    If you did it up real tight it would give the muzzle some choke like the flash 22lrs

    Id find it interesting that the thread has been changed from 5/8-24 to 16x1, both threads are very very similar in diameter and pitch. It could possibly be an over sized 5/8-24. Who threaded it?

    Not trying to complicate things but being in the hydraulic Hose game I find an M16 thread is typically .1 - .2mm under size. So smack on 5/8". and the differance between 24tpi and 1mm pitch is about bugger all, 24tpi would be 1.05mm.
    So none of this helps explain a thread OD of 16.2mm
