I've got a Browning rifle that I was misinformed about the thread pitch when I bought it. I bought a 5/8"-24 suppressor that's in jail for now and I just found out the rifle actually has the stupid Browning metric threads. I don't want to go the adapter route and am leaning toward having the barrel rethreaded. I'm also considering just selling it and starting over with a rifle with the appropriate thread pitch. Do any of y'all have any better ideas or know of a gunsmith that will rethread a barrel relatively close to Montgomery?

Harvey King over in Valley Grande.

What suppressor did you buy?

Danley Precision - Licensed 07 FFL

He is up in the Deatsville area. Check out his facebook page. There is also the Ammo Dump in Clanton. Also check out his facebook page. I know he rethread for you.

Just wondering is the mertic threads smaller than the 5/8X 24 so you don't have to cut the barrel back.

The threads on the gun are M13x1.25.

I bought a TBAC Ultra 7

No experience with that one...

Check around different suppressor forums and make sure there isn't a mount that works with it. Lots of different mount options out there now.

That sux...Smaller than 5/8-24 and not enough meat after cleaning up those threads to do 1/2-28

adapter will be the simplest and cheapest way to remedy your situation.

I don't know what model you have, but often times sporting rifle barrels are considerably smaller diameter than 5/8" at the muzzle, so many are threaded 1/2-28. I only mention this because even if you sold your current rifle and bought another one with SAE threads it likely wouldn't be available in 5/8-24 and you'd end up having to buy an adapter anyway.

Thanks, that is the information I needed, and what I was afraid of. Looks like that one may be headed to the classifieds.

I considered this at first, but started reading about baffle strikes from using adapters. I really just want a direct mount, so I'm going to find a gun with the thread pitch I need. Thanks for the help fellas.

I got an ultra 9. Awesome suppressor.

I’m guessing you didn’t get the qd mount?

I can’t imagine they couldn’t just cut an inch of the barrel and then retread the end.
I got my Remington 700 with a 24” barrel cut down to an 18” and threaded. Costed about 150$

As a side note, if you’re not shooting over 400yds, I’d highly encourage you to get your barrel cut down to 18-20”.

That suppressor adds like 8-10”, so it’s a pain to wield around a gun with essentially a 32-34” barrel. I got my creedmoor to reach out and touch something but my .308 with a 18” is much better in the shoothouse and woods.

That's an option as well. I was just referring to cleaning up the threads that were already on it.

And just another side note. Anything browning rifle wise is really not made to do a whole lot of extra after market to period.

I would be fine with that. I'm not trying to set up a LR gun. Can you do that gundoc? Shoot me a pm if you want to talk about it. The gun is a Browning model 035440282

I can do it ... PM sent

If gundoc can’t, It may be a bit of a drive, but tooter at Meredith rifles near Athens should be able to join you up. He did my Remington, and I’ve never heard a single bad word about any of his work

just make sure to measure the diameter of your barrel at the muzzle before you send it off somewhere to be threaded 5/8-24. If you've got a target/bull barrel profile you're probably fine, but if it a standard "sporting" style rife it may only be 1/2 in diameter.

Yeah we've already been discussing that. It's a mighty thin barrel.
