Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - VORTEX wont thread on.

I think I have a 9mm vortex but the card says its for the ar15/m16. A .223 casing will almost go through the opening in the FS. Length is 2.34in and .85in diameter.

Dosent seem large enough to be for .308 or 6.8spc.

If it won't simple thread on, don't force it.  
Sounds like you have the wrong unit, and phone call in the morning to the vendor should solve the problem.

There is a 1/2" x 36 tpi 9mm Vortex and a 1/2" x 28 tpi 223 Vortex. Make sure you got the right one.

 I ordered a Vortex for my FN Fal/ .308, it had the appropriate 9/16-24 LH thread with a .260 dia. bullet clearence hole which is what they use for .223.  I caught it and they sent me another, would have made an interesting first shot. Probably would have flown way downrange and I would still be wondering WTF. There is a LMG that uses what they sent me.
