Gunsmithing muzzle thread ?

[ajwcotton]

I'm putting a 6 creed together and was thinking about using a 22 brake bored, out with 1/2 28 threads. Is 1/2 too thin on the threads or do you think it would be ok ?

Bigger is better but 1/2-28 is good up to 30 cal.

If you have a heavy contoured barrel I would go with a 5/8 x 24 and a jec customs brake,I just put one on my 260

9/16 x 24 is a good option for slimmer profiles.

Agreed, it all depends on your barrel contour.

It's going to be a rem varmint or a med Palma finished at 26 inches. So not a sporter, but certainly not a super heavy contour.

that muzzle will be plenty wide enough for a 5/8x24 thread. I would always go with a smaller shoulder if it allowed for a bigger thread. The less meat you take away from the barrel the less chance it might effect the internal dimension of the bore , opening the barrel just .0005" could ruin accuracy.

also, 5/8x24 is the standard for breaks and suppressors for 30cal, and thats what you would need on a 6mm
