What thread do most people opt for when doing a factory tikka barrel in 223. I'm wanting to put a dpt suppressor on it.
Also I haven't made my mind up about a can or over barrel.
Thanks in advance

Rule 5: Check your firing zone
What is the muzzle diameter? Personally, I would go with the biggest diameter thread that leaves say a 1mm shoulder for the supressor to pull up to. Maybe a 14mm x 1mm if the muzzle is about 16mm. 1/2" unf seems to be the popular fall back though. Also, if you may possibly use the supressor on another rifle, think about that as well.
For example, my blaser barrels are all 15x1 thread so I can use the same supressor or brake on all barrels if I want
If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more
Good point @The Claw
The muzzle is just over 15mm according to my cheap tape measure. So barely big enough for 14x1 thread?
Is there snow at home?

Was white last night and pretty much gone this morning other than on the hills. It ain't tropical though... Luckily I have a heater in my office!

Ask the big fella ex Tokoroa and better get him to thread it. Absolute must to have 5 baffles.
ill go and grab my messureing tools when it stops raining and messureing tools i have both threads here so can tell you what dia my muzzle is on my 14x1 and half by 20 rifles ive seen tikkas with 1/2-20 and they look so thin like only a coupple of mill wall thickness once a 1/2-20 has been cut mind you that was on a 7mm-08 so be alot more on a 223 14x1 has way more wall thickeness but its just weather as the claw says it is not to big would be finne for sure if you cut your barrel abit to 20 inches like i did my ruger so thats another option
Most .22 cals seem to be 1/2x20, so sticking with that would allow the can to be used on any other .22 ish rifles you have or may have. Then you can buy one good one instead of two or more cheaper. Or pocket the cash difference and shout 1/8 of a heli ride for Toby
