What is the diameter of your muzzle right before the threads? My barrel is cut to 18”, and I’d like to thread it 1/2-28, but I keep seeing 0.600” as the minimum recommended diameter, and I’m at 0.585.

Nice build! 6.5 CM is a great choice. I've done a few things to mine, mostly trigger work (really makes a difference!), and I swapped out the stock for a Manners.
