Thread: Threaded 243 barrel

As you can see attached I have a barrel which has been threaded for a DPT suppressor. It seems like the barrel has been threaded a bit much and the end cap doesn't screw on properly.

Is there any way I can source an aftermarket piece to enclose the threaded area? I no longer want to use a suppressor.

Cheers

Hey mate. You could considder cutting the first 3mm of threads away in the thread cap - thus enabling it to thread a little deeper/further.

Or, if you've got access to a lathe just cut a relief cut at the rifle and of the thread(removing the last 3mm of threads).

Cheers.

just get a longer thread cap......any engineer worth his or her weight in donkey turds could whip one up in a jiffy.... you are in cambridge.....bet you if you went and saw the good folks at DPT they will sort you out quick smart.

Why don't you want to use a suppressor?

Cool ok cheers.
@ROKTOY - its extremely mellow to shoot and trying to keep weight down. I do a lot of big walkin trips and would be lucky to shoot one round on a trip

We swopped some rifles to get DPT suppressors and took them into DPT. Enabled an exact fitting.

in the meantime you can just use insulation tape

^ Yeah aware of that but it looks like shit. It's a sexy rifle, want it to look clean.

Just ordered one from Gunworks, they look slick. $20 too.
