Threading “Thin Contour” or “Tikka Lite Contour”Barrels 5/8-24. Flutes Are Welcome!

I almost had mine talked into it, but he just said it's not smart. I'd be curious to see how much surface area you have on your can to shoulder.

This .223 gets a lot of rounds run thru it regularly. I’ll find out if it’s a problem sooner than later. I’m very confident in it that said.

Have their been any issues with those who have threaded their Tikka light barrels at 5/8 x 24? I've got a 308 barrel I want to cut down to 16.5", and I want it threaded to 5/8 x 24. I am nervous about doing 1/2 x 28 and putting an adapter on it due to tolerance stacking (I'm putting a muzzle device on it to host the can).
