| When not using a suppressor, is it recommended to leave the threaded protector on or should you remove it while shooting. |
|
Quoted:
Have you noticed any "backing-off" or looseness in the thread adapter on the barrel after a long shooting session. My MP5 thread protector comes loose after some shooting sessions with the 3-lug suppressor or bare muzzle. I just make a point of checking it every so often. |

Quoted:
If my threaded bbls. don't have a suppressor attached, they have the thread protector attached wether they are installed on the gun or in my safe. That's why they are called thread protectors. For what a good threaded bbl. costs, it is worth protecting them.  This. How much time and energy does it take to put them on? Vs how pissed you will be if your threads get fucked. |

I must be in the minority here, but I own thread protectors for all my threaded barrels and I don't use any of them. I used them in the past, but eventually got lazy and stopped bothering. Now they sit on the top shelf in my safe.
Besides.... why would I shoot my guns that have threaded barrels WITHOUT a suppressor??? That's just crazy talk!!

That's just crazy talk!! shooting with the thread protector on doesn't necessarily mean "WITHOUT a suppressor" while there are 3-lug subguns like my MP5 out there.

It's hard to conceal my P220 when I'm on duty when the can is attached. |
