[QUOTE="Bed Wetter, post: 276379, member: 428"] I’ve looked into the technical aspects of threading a .30 caliber lightweight barrel and concluded it’s a bad idea. “But Kimber does it.” Kimber also puts 1/12 twist on a .308, so don’t get me started. Creating an extremely thin barrel wall - like .06” thin - at the muzzle end of a barrel, then putting weight and stress on it, is begging to ruin a barrel or a suppressor or worse. If you’re going to thread a lightweight or featherweight barrel, you’ll likely need to thread it 1/2x28. Kimber threads theirs 7/16x28 which is pants-on-head stupid if you actually wanted to use those threads to mount anything. Let me see if I have a pic of their 7/16 thread on a .300 Winmag barrel...
