I'm putting together my .300 Blackout build, and I'm trying to find the right suppressor for it. Are standard 5/8x24 threads usually safe to use? Or should I really double-check the barrel specs just to be sure?
I’d much rather spend a quick 30 seconds double-checking the specs than deal with the headache of a misaligned suppressor and a baffle strike. Trust me, I’ve seen the aftermath when someone slaps a suppressor on mismatched threads, it’s pretty messy and definitely costs a pretty penny to fix.
If I were putting together a .300 Blackout rifle and picking out a suppressor, I'd definitely take a good look at the barrel specs. 5/8x24 is usually the standard thread pitch for .30 caliber barrels, and it's pretty reliable. But I’d never just assume that’s the case without double-checking.
