Just ordered a threaded OEM takeoff superlite barrel in 6.5 PRC for a build, has anyone had issues running a can on this barrel profile?

Seems like there's a thread already about this subject. I've personally had my superlite in 308 cut to 18" and threaded for a suppressor no problem.

I’ve seen lots of posts and requests for being able to thread Tikka Lite profile barrels 5/8-24 for suppressors.

While the factory tikka lite barrels now come with an end flare and 5/8-24 threads, if you want to cut the barrels shorter you have the same issue as the original lite profile barrels.

Here are 3 different options for threading so that you don’t haven’t to use a 1/2-5/8 adapter…



The top barrel is a factory “Superlite” fluted Tikka lite profile barrel. This barrel was cut to 16”, re-crowned, threaded 5/8 and shoulder added.

Thanks, I am addressing people that are running suppressors on the OEM threaded barrels already. I have no plans to cut this one or alter it in anyway. Just curious if people have had issues running a suppressor on this light profile of a barrel.

None so far (~300 rounds on a 20" 6.5mm Creedmoor SL with an OG).
