I cut my 308 barrel down from 24" to 20", I am waiting for my 11 degree Crown tool that I purchased, to come in to do the crown.
I wanted to thread my muzzle before I crowned, the diameter at the muzzle is .630 and after 1" it goes to .647. I have read the the 5/8 X 24 die can handle these diameters, so I would not need to shave anything off of the barrel (lathe it).
I found a brake that is 5/8 X 24 RH, so do I need a 5/8 X 24 LH or RH threader to thread my barrel for this brake?
This is going on a bolt action rifle......... Thanks
