Man that is sick!! Looking forward to seeing it painted up. Local prairie dogs have a new gun to fear.

Thanks again Mr Roscoe for great work.

Re: Another Thread Cap, No Where To Hide

Man would you make me one for mine. I have an FTE brake. I don't like the step in the barrel when the break is removed with cap installed.

Re: Another Thread Cap, No Where To Hide

Kinda like a long cap that'll cover the turned down portion as well? If the rifle is painted or coated you'll loose the finish when I blend it.

Truly beautiful machining work William! Now you see it - now you don't on the seam. I love Class 3 threads - smooth, tight, and wobble-free without teflon tape!

Suppressor Threads with Teflon Tape, now where have I heard that?

Not only were the threads cut for Class 3A, they were checked with a Class 3A Ring Gauge with current certs

I also use a Class 2A 1/2x28 & 5/8x24 Ring Gauge and Class 2A/3A Thread Plug Gauge of the same size to check the thread protectors.

Its ok I dug into the finish installing the damn thing the first time I put It back on. Its a stainless barrel if that make a difference. Just a cap not recrowning it.

Re: Another Thread Cap, No Where To Hide

I love it. How much would you charge to shorten, re-chamber, crown & thread a .308?

Re: Another Thread Cap, No Where To Hide

William,

Those are some pretty good looking threads. And checked with guages with up to date certifications... I'm impressed.

Thanks Shooter. No, this is a customers rifle but, I'll have one very simular to this in a few weeks that very well might be for sale.

Thanks Victor. I figured I'd check suppressor threads with a go gauge just in case. I'd hate for some one to "Stick" their suppressor on out of spec muzzle threads. As far as the barrel threads at the breech, they're cut to fit that specific receiver. Thanks again for the kind words.

Re: Another Thread Cap, No Where To Hide

Very nice William!

Re: Another Thread Cap, No Where To Hide

Yes excellent work! Now I just have to count the days until I can go shoot it.

Once again thanks for building it for me.
