I just wish the RFR was included, if you can even find one available. I've only seen a couple on gunbroker.

I bitched at them at the NRAAM about non-US thread pitches, the RFR is 1/2-20, and they just responded that they're trying. Apparently the Austrians aren't big on change, that or they don't really care about this market.

I was just trying to get information from them on the Scout. 1/2x20 is a deal breaker for me and the inability to mount a can properly is why I have wanted a Scout since 2004 and don't have one.

I know Steyr Is vividly aware that the US market is not happy with the European thread pitches.

New model guns are starting to reflect small changes to this. There's a small handful of new steyr.308 bolt guns in 5/8x24.

CZ did the same thing with the 1/2-20 threads when they first started selling threaded barrels.  After a few years of customers complaining they fixed it. And then there are all the companies that do .22s with 0.6" or some other odd number for the threaded length.

Changing the thread pitch would involve almost no effort, a few simple programing changes on the CNC. It would be more involved to separate the batches and labeling them then making the actual machining change. It's beyond silly that they don't adjust.

Doesn't the Bren have stupid long 14mm threads?

Finally ordered myself a 20" barrel.  Wanted one for years.
