Does anyone know of a manufacturer making 3 lugs with non standard or custom interior threads?

I'm looking for 7/16x24 (I think) ETA: might be x20
Morgan at Class III machining says .470" OD

What the heck is threaded that? That's not a rifle caliber.

Vz61 in 9mm Mak
I'm trying to plan out this project.

I don't have the gun in hand - had to mail the gunbroker seller a money order

Someone said the OD might be 12mm and someone else suggested threading 7/16

By all means, I'm open to other theories. I'd like to use my 3 lug can but if something like a custom rear mount on a Tirant is for some reason easier, I'm all ears.
.530" at the muzzle

You have Howard's email address. Work with him to get a 3-lug muzzle device made, and he could do them in whatever thread pitch people needed. We started to fool around with it for the SWR Trident, but SRI claimed they were coming out with parts about the same time so he bailed on it.

Beware: Any practical pitch 7/16" threads will not have enough wall thickness for a .308 caliber barrel. If you could manage to thread it, the barrel would snap off on firing.

Yeah. This is why I couldn't get my Beretta 84 in .380 threaded.

7/16= .4375
Minus the .355 bore
Leaves you with .0825. Not good. You need a meatier barrel.

The .082" is the diameter difference, split between the walls on either side. Actual wall thickness is closer to .040", and then you need to look at the root diameter of the threads. For 28 pitch, the wall thickness will be closer to .019" and for 36 pitch, closer to .024" (assuming the machinist can thread the barrel to class 3 specs).

I picked up the gun earlier
It's 0.530" at the muzzle.

Thanks. I still haven't found a decent solution for suppressing it

You could thread it M13.5x1LH an run standard metric pistol cans with a fixed barrel spacer.

13.5/25.4=.5314"

You could install a Gemtech 1/2-36 male 3-Lug, which has a thread length of .900 back over the barrel.
We are running 2 weeks in the shop right now.

Hope this helps?

Interesting
Okay

@eastTXhunter
Since you'll be doing the work, figure I should invite you to the party

Morgan, would you do this?

Thats what I thought as well, but Kimber is churning them out in that thread. I have done two .30 cal kimbers that came in that thread in the past couple weeks, one for a dealer on here.

7/16x28 is what they are using from the factory.

I have done some tokarev extensions in 7/16x20 and they have held up.


Edit: here is one of the kimbers, they are selling adapters to 5/8 too

Nice! Got lucky bud, all the others that have been here have been .470ish.

You could thread 1/2x28 and index off the muzzle instead of a shoulder
