I have a threaded barrel, which is illegal in my state unless there's a pinned/welded muzzle device on it. We're not allowed to have flash hiders, and I don't want a brake (loud, can't change the barrel nut, etc). So my only options are to either just grind off the threads, or pin/weld a thread protector onto it.
My question is, will a gas block slide over a thread protector, allowing me to swap barrel nuts if desired? From what I can see in pictures, thread protectors are generally very close to the barrel diameter. But if it was just a bit over, I'd be stuck. Thanks. |

There are probably thread protectors available that are the same diameter as a barrel. Finding one will be your challenge.
An option you could pursue is getting the protector of your choice and having a gunsmith or machine shop turn it down so that it matches your barrel diameter. |

this is one of the best i have found for situations such as yours. gas block will slide over it easily and its not a super loud MB either. they show OOS currently but he adds items daily. http://www.ar15performance.com/inc/sdetail/2121/16438 Forgot to mention that I've got a 0.625" pencil barrel, so that brake won't work, nor will the two-piece gas block mentioned by the other poster above. |

Might as well just grind off the threads then. Cheaper that way. |
