Will Tikka come out with a 6 CM soon???

I have a tikka factory lite .243 barrel threaded 5/8 at 16". I think 1/2" with an adapter would be preferable.

How would that be preferable over 5/8 and a shoulder added? Not arguing because I have said I have mostly 1/2 threads without a shoulder but going forward it makes more sense to me to use 5/8 with a shoulder rather than using a 1/2-5/8 adapter. Like I said it was/is a non issue with cans that I could just swap out the HUB on but those that its not an option why not just thread for 5/8 add a shoulder and not use the adapter? When thats an option.

Agreed.

Diameter of the shoulder? Does it prevent some OTB suppressors?

 

[Kaleb]

Not if you keep it 750-770

I guess whatever is cheaper is preferable to me, assuming both would work.
