 I usually don't use Dremel on firearms but this time I had to...
Deep inside my mind, I told myself I should send my barrel for expert machining work but lately I'm short changed. So I hesitantly picked up hand files & Dremel... Problem - The Gap It is a Storm Lake barrel, which has threads machined from tip of barrel. I noticed that OEM threaded barrels usually have the tip machined down removing 1st couple threads. 
Solution - The Dremel Hack Job Argh~~~ the horror.... At least it will be hidden under thread protector all the time. 
The Finished Project - 
AAC TiRant 9, RMR 8-moa dot, Tall sights, Storm Lake barrel I'm a happy camper now!! |

Quoted:
What is the advantage to not having it threaded to the tip? Not sure about other suppressor manufacturers' piston designs but AAC piston won't thread all the way in w/ the threads at the barrel tip. I saw Glock & Sig 9mm OEM barrels have the tip threads machined. Inside of AAC piston, there is an o-ring that grabs on the machined barrel tip section. It gives 'friction' fit to prevent loosening up while shooting. |
