I am looking to buy a 16" Hbar barrel for a 9mm build and wanted to know if anyone knows the diameter of the barrel right before the threads. I need to buy a thread protector because here in commy NY flash hinders are illegal.

Sooo...why do you want such a heavy barrel for a 9mm  build?   and why do you want to know the barrel  diameter at the end?  The threads should be 1/2x28 and I think this is what you are looking for. The barrel profile has nothing to do with the thread pitch.

Buy one w/out threads. Call these fine folks and i'm sure they will take care of you.

or
If you don't have access to a lathe, or know someone that does. And GM or other vendor does not offer non-threaded bbls. Buy one and i'll remove the threads for you no charge.

I want to match the size of the thread protector with the barrel. They do come in different outside diameters.

9mm are typically 1/2 by 36.

We cant have threaded barrels too....  Look under NYS Penal Law 265.00  Sub 22. (a) (vi)   a flash suppressor, muzzle break, muzzle compensator, or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor, muzzle break, or muzzle compensator;     BUT since the SAFE ACT if you registered it as an assault weapon you could have a threaded barrel.  NYS sucks... most LEOs don't understand the safe act,  worst piece of legislation written.....
