Seekins Element Hunter Barrel Diameter

[Subs]

Does anyone know the barrel diameter at the threads? I've been trying to find it and I'm coming up short. I know it's a carbon fiber barrel with a thinner contour so I'm trying to figure out if my OG-6S would fit on the end. It can take up to a .75" diameter at the threads and it tapers open in the reflex portion over the barrel. I've been thinking about building a 6mm Creedmoor chassis gun and was hoping that the Element Hunter might be the easy button, when they get more in stock.

Following up on my post just for anyone's future use. The diameter of the barrel at the shoulder is .7" so for those of us that want to run an OG, plenty of room to do it.

Yep - I have an OG on an Element 6.5PRC

Fair warning, in one of the last few Shoot2Hunt podcasts, there was a cautionary note about using the OG line of suppressors over carbon barrels over some concern about carbon delamination should the suppressor get really hot. YMMV, but something to keep in mind...

I had thought about that. I’ll have to dig into it a little more. Do you happen to remember the episode? I spoke with Jordan at Seekins and was told that he and another employee there gun OGs on their element hunters. It’s also interesting that US makes an OG L specifically to fit over larger carbon barrels.
