Not what they were banned for
I hate it when my attempts at humor fall flat. I will keep trying, nobody likes a quitter.Not what they were banned for
Did you do 1/2 or 5/8 threads? I contacted a local gunsmith that was recommended, and they told me to bring the gun down to be measured. I am going to bring lots of pictures from this thread so they can see what other people have done.
Thanks for the info!I have played with 3 tikkas, here’s what I can tell you.
- My 223 T3x lite is threaded 1/2 x 28 at 20”. I use an adapter to make it 5/8 x 24 and that works great.
- My 6.5 Creedmore T3x lite is threaded 5/8 x 24 at 18”. There is almost no shoulder but it works fine with direct thread suppressor. Tried a muzzle device (Xeno system) with some odd first round impacts, still trying to understand what happened there).
- Recently picked up a .308 barrel from a T3x lite and spun it onto a Tikka action. That barrel was threaded 1/2 x 28 and cut to 20”. I added an adapter to make it 5/8 x 24 and it worked great.
For simplicity, I’d go with 5/8 x 24 for any barrels I have cut/thread, but if your smith or you are worried about the lack of shoulder, than going 1/2 x 28 or 9/16 x 24 and using an adapter to get to 5/8 x 24 is a very easy alternative that has worked fine for me and others I know.
The red head comments brought the "hot-crazy" matrix to mind. If you have not seen it and are in the mood for a laugh, give it a watch.That wouldn't help you.
Red heads aren't to be trusted, especially the ones with fake parts that like to show them off.
So now we're to the point of insulting intelligence of people because KE does not matter and instead you're going to pretend to be on a high horse and more intelligent? At what point in an animal dying did the bullet fail because it didn't have enough energy? At what point is an animal more dead when shot with a tougher, faster, larger bullet that exits compared to say a lighter, slower, more frangible bullet that doesn't exit the off side of an animal?Figure it out. Do some testing, use something quantifiable that will satisfy those with a limited ability to grasp. do it with identical pieces of mass and then do it with objects of different mass but the same calculated KE drawn from velocity and mass. Good luck finding someone here that has the ability to grasp the concept.
I said good luck. Your comment has nothing to do with quantifying KE.So now we're to the point of insulting intelligence of people because KE does not matter and instead you're going to pretend to be on a high horse and more intelligent?

FredH is an absolute troll, and insulting.So now we're to the point of insulting intelligence of people because KE does not matter and instead you're going to pretend to be on a high horse and more intelligent?
