Gunsmithing What to do whith threaded barrel?

[916dude!]

the rifle i bought has a YHM Phantom flash hider on it and i want to take it off. Im guessing i should put a break on or something to replace it. I'm not sure if the threads are right handed 1/2" x 28 or left handed 9/16" x 20. Any suggestions for breaks? Or other suggestions?

PS-i would put a can on it but they are illegal in CA

Move away from Cali and buy a muffler.....LOL just kidding.

If you dont want anything out on the end, Just have a smith build you a thread protector. It will look just like the barrel if done corrcetly.

Its hard to say what thread pitch it is without some pics and calipers.

you need a thread pitch guage. the machinist or smith will have one.

you can check the OD of the threads and tell if its a 1/2 or 9/16 , but you need a thread pitch guage to check correct thread per inch.

if i were guessing , i'd say that if the OD is 1/2" that the threads are 28 TPI , uness YHM made a one off unit
