Which thread pitch?
Re: Which thread pitch?
I'm in the same boat trying to use a 1/2X28 can on my 13.5x1mm 226 bbl. Anyone find a source for an adapter?

Re: Which thread pitch?
General consensus I've found from the few firearm machinists I've talked to is that an adapter for 1/2"x28 from 13.5x1 won't work well because their screwing in opposite directions and neither will want to stay tight while firing.rcpd34 wrote:I'm in the same boat trying to use a 1/2X28 can on my 13.5x1mm 226 bbl.

This is true BUT if you install the adapter on it with Rocksett you won't have to worry about it unscrewing.FSCJedi wrote:General consensus I've found from the few firearm machinists I've talked to is that an adapter for 1/2"x28 from 13.5x1 won't work well because their screwing in opposite directions and neither will want to stay tight while firing.rcpd34 wrote:I'm in the same boat trying to use a 1/2X28 can on my 13.5x1mm 226 bbl.

I have still yet to see a 1/2x28 threaded factory sig barrel and I have been looking myself!

I had a SIG P229 USTB - threaded American threads, but the 9mm barrel is so thin there is little to no shoulder.Bendersquint wrote:

The can must index on the muzzle or it will come loose repidly. Mine didd not.
I ended up getting a European threaded barrel because my European piston did index off the muzzle.
Shoot softly, and carry a big clip.
