jamie g 17 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Thanks all for that, most enlightening. I purchased the rifle as "factory threaded" but when there was not a device to protect the thread and the shop said there wasn't one in the box, I called the manufacturer who said they don't factory thread barrels! So obviously this was done by a gunsmith. I am not too worried if the shop can get me one made, but will a poorly made one affect accuracy? it cant afect accuracy mate in less it gets in the way of the bullet what size is the thread i mite have one here you can have Don't know the thread size but it has a wildcat mod fitted. it could be a number of threads mate. what rifle is it on and what thickness is the barrel ?
