Did the usual Google search and didn't see a consensus.
My first rifle cans were QD. AAC and Surefire. That's fine for AR and tactical bolt guns. Now wanting to start using cans on my hunting rifles. Both for hearing protection as well as recoil mitigation.
My first direct thread can is currently in jail waiting. It has 5/8 x 24 threads. Even if I wanted to stay with my current
Surefire, pretty much all of their muzzle devices that are available to purchase currently are also threaded 5/8 x 24.
My current hunting rifles have fairly thin barrels. There's no way to get them threaded to that pitch. I've looked online at several new rifles. There are some 5/8 x24, but most that are available now seem to be more like 1/2 x 28, 1/2 x 20, or metric.
Bad idea to purchase one of those and get a thread adapter to fit my can? I know there is concern for potential baffle strike or end cap strike if things aren't lined up perfectly. Also yet another area, connection to keep tight. I didn't know if that really played out in the real world.
Thanks
