Anyone run a can on a AO threaded rifle? I have a rifle being built and threaded right now. I have a thunderbeast on order. It will be a direct thread can. Anyone have any issues? The paperwork says it's threaded for a brake/suppressor so I'm sure it's fine. Just wanting some feedback from owners.
 
I have an AO rifle and a 30P-1. Zero issues. You'll be fine man and in the event there was an issue you couldn't get better customer service than either of these companies will provide.
 
thunderbeast doesnt have specs. they simply thread to class 3A thread spec for 5/8-24 or whatever thread pitch is desired. anyone threading a barrel for that thread spec should be doing it that way. if they dont they are wrong. there is no magic and witchcraft here. its very simple.

Hi,

That's correct in terms of the threads themselves.

A threaded muzzle has a few other dimensions that need to be right for it to work. Those would be dimensions C (undercut), D (should OD), and the "Detail E" inset (undercut detail) on the spec sheet,
