Hey all,
Sorry this is far out of my knowledge, this guy is selling a suppressor on trademe:
https://www.trademe.co.nz/sports/hun...67af257953cf77
He doesn't know what the thread type is, can any of your keen eyes tell?
Thanks for your help!
Edit: Thought I should mention I'm asking because I'm after a suppressor for my .308
Pitch seems to be 24 threads per inch, so my guess is either 1/2x24 (standard on .22LR, and my old gunworks .308 suppressor) or 3/8x24 (standard on .308 AR10's etc).
Get a photo taken of the crown of the barrel to determine which it is.
looks like 1/2x20 to me, have never heard of 1/2x24 being standard 22lr thread, 1/2x20 yes, if it was threaded by gunworks then pretty likely it will be, they thread most sporter weight barrels 1/2x20 unless they have been shortened more than a couple inchesQuote:

1/2 x 20 is a little average on a 308 muzzle to be fair
Thanks for all the replies guys. Appreciate you all!
He's going to contact gunworkx I believe and I will update here so the "mystery" can be solved. My .308 came with a threaded barrel also but no information as to who done it.. I'll have to post a pic up tomorrow :p
Kind of assumed my rifle would be 5/8x24.. Read somewhere that this was the most common for .308
Yep - what Ryan said.Quote:

It's what they put on mine. Wasn't a great deal of meat to go any bigger, but could have gone for a finer thread.Quote:

Hey again,
I have attached a couple pics of the read on my Rem 7. Also in .308.
What do you think?
His thread looks to go out longer. No pun there typed it as best I could haha.
The diameter is whats required :)Quote:

Yep that would work, Verniers would be betterQuote:

Sorry guys, although I think I did a pretty good job with the photo, I don't have any of those other more accurate means of measurement.
Does this help?
Edit: hm it looks quite dark once uploaded, I'll try alter the photo to make it brighter

Most likely/is 1/2 x 20Quote:

Just be aware that even if its the same thread in theory that doesn't always mean it will just screw straight on. May require some tweaking, gunworks threads to DPT cans sure do.
I've had trouble with over sized Hardy muzzle threads on several occasions now with Guys wanting to take the suppressor off & put a brake on, extremely frustrating.Quote:

Nice one. Yeah guess no one wants to be the one in the spotlight for an out of spec thread.Quote:
