Just wondering if there is an ideal thread for a supressor or most common. Im looking into doing a cut and thread to my 308. Currently, I think its M15x1 and i hardly see any supressors for sale with that thread.

14 x 1
14 x 1 :thumbsup:
14 x 1 is pretty common these days so you should have no problem with availability BUT it also depends on the diameter of the barrel, you need a good shoulder to screw the can up to.
My 308 in the for sale thread is 14x1
while all my guns and suppressors are 14x1 I would not say that that is "the ideal" thread.
ideally you want the thread to be as large as possible (for mechanical strength reasons, while still giving a shoulder for the suppressor to index against.
On the other hand having everything the same, and choosing a commonly used thread has its advantages. Like everything its a compromise.
Ideal and most common is 2 very different sizes.
Ideal: As big in diameter as possible, no less then 1mm smaller than the barrel diameter at the crown.
Most common:
Ultra light barrels: 1/2" x 20 or 28tpi
Hunter profile barrels: M14x1
Varmint barrels: 5/8" x 24tpi or M18x1.
Hope this helps.
I normally work on ideal size.
If you're looking to install muzzle devices from the US primarily or for competition purposes, then 5/8x24.
Eamars is right, its seems the US is having a big drve to standardize on 1/2" x 20 or 28 or 5/8×24tpi.
I like 14x1 on mine or 1/2x 20 on my 22s
Sweet, so on my standard 308 barrel 14x1 should be sweet. Especially if i shorten the barrel. Correct?

Maybe I'm missing something. 1/2 is about 16mm isnt it? So the 22 has a wider thread?Quote:

5/8 is almost 16mm
Between son and I we have 2x 243, 1 light & 1 heavy barrl, 223 varment barrel and 358 win lightish barrel all with 14x1
The 14x1 is marginal on the 358 being 9.1mm id giving a wall thickness at the root of the thread of around 1.4mm

There have been many threads about the ideal suppressor. :D
15x1 is becoming the new 14x1 on a lot of rifles, starting with tikkas.
Wot da man said. Dude born with thread on his milk teeth. LOL.Quote:
