Tikka T3 in 6.5 Manbun need threading help

[BraedenD93]

Looking to have my Tikka T3 Manbun threaded. Mostly will have a cap on it but for the seldom times I get to use a can on out of state hunts id like the option. Would it be best to go 5/8 24 or stick with the 1/28 and then if need be get an adapter ? Muzzle brake might be an option at one point if my girlfriend wants to try shooting

I’m assuming you’ve got a 5/8 direct thread suppressor. With a Tikka Lite you probably won’t have enough shoulder if you go 5/8, but you could talk to your gunsmith and the suppressor manufacturer to confirm.

Im chopping the barrel down to 18.5 " Im not sure what the shoulder will be at that depth. I totally forgot to mention that

I did mine in 1/2x28 my daughter likes it with the brake

Measure the barrel dia at your cut location.

I cut two of mine down to 18.5” and threaded at 1/2x28. For attaching a can, I use the Area 419 mounting system for all my rifles and have found it to be a very easy solution.
