Thread protectors.... Help!

[Bobbyboe]

I just removed a muzzle break off of a Weatherby Ultra Lightweight and now it needs a thread protector. Here’s the problem, it’s an unusual size and I can’t seem to find anything that will work. Has anyone seen a 9/16 x 18 thread protector? If so, where can I buy one? If not, does anyone know a company who can machine custom size thread protectors? I really don’t want to use a hex nut on the end of my barrel!

Following along. I recently went through this and ended up having a hex nut machined to size. Did not require a gunsmith for a simple lathe operation.

Definitely didn’t see any that size on eBay. Crazy there are muzzle breaks with this thread size, but to protectors.
