I have a AR-15 9mm rifle, that I had the barrel threaded.
My smith cut it 0.5 inches long - whereas the 9mm pistol barrels I've bought from Lone Wolf are 0.4 inches long, which I belive is the standard length for a 1/2" x 28 TPI 9mm thread. So, my cans don't shoulder out on the barrel, but on the piston. 1. Any issues with this, or should I just have the barrel shortened down a bit to the normal 0.4 inch length of thread? 2. Any reason for the 0.5 inch length, or did he just not do it correctly? I also had him thread a .578" x 28 TPI barrel, which I've not yet measured. What is the standard thread length for that size? Thanks, |

Silencerco also has their own set of published thread specs - you can find it in the support section of their website.
If you're going to be using a piston with a spacer, then you'll need the threads to be around 0.4" (the exact number is on their print) I believe the Octane fixed mounts will accept longer threads and still allow the mount seat on the shoulder of the barrel - but you will have exposed threads inside the blast chamber of the suppressor. |
