Threaded vs Non threaded barrel

[Firefour]

I was just wondering if a threaded barrel's accuracy is any worse or better than a non threaded. Having a new barrel put on my rifle and thought of getting it threaded barrel,for possible suppressor use.

Never owned a threaded bolt action rifle.
Thanks

No difference.

You must ensure that the thread protector is very snug, as a loose one will play havoc with harmonics

as long as they do not damage the crown then it shouldn't affect accuracy as far as i know.

It wont have any effect on accuracy, unless they booger up the crown. Adding a muzzle device (brake or suppressor) can have a effect on POI and accuracy due to harmonics, but the threading itself will have no effect.

will ask the question.

is this accuracy of the barrel or accuracy of the barrel with a can on it?

Loads of people have discussed QD vs Thread for cans.

I have a suppressor on my .243. Think it looks horrible but serves a purpose. Won't affect accuracy unless the crown is bodged as already stated. I did find the the suppressor reduced muzzle flip slightly which was nice.

Also, if you decide to sell it, I believe it helps resale.

Might...

Not a reason to be doing it though. Thread it is you use a can or a brake, otherwise.....

Re: Threaded vs Non threaded barrel

if you are considering a can and are having a new barrel put on..now is the time to do it. I havent seen anything saying a threaded barrel with a thread cover decreases accuracy

Re: Threaded vs Non threaded barrel

I think it will decrease accuracy a little but not enough to matter unless it is a bench rest rifle.

Won't harm a thing. This is the time to do it. All of m rifles are threaded and all shoot better than 1/2 MOA. My Tac Ops shoot better than 1/4 MOA when I do my part and all are threaded.
