Re: Barrel Threading Q...

Howdy, The .30 cal flash hiders are threaded 5/8x24, so all you need to do is get it threaded.. 5/8 being .625, I don't think the slight undersize at the muzzle will hurt anything.. I don't believe I'd got with the 1/2" size, those are for .223 and the hole might be too small! Hope this helps.....

The numbers I mentioned are for the numbers you gave me, assuming a sight radius

Let us know the new 50 yd error, and the actual sight radius and we can figure the next move..
