Help on keeping threads clean

[glg20]

I own a SWR Spectre (not the II) and have three rifles and one pistol host that range anywhere from .400 to .600 thread length. When I shoot one of the .400 host, about .200 of the thread get carboned up inside the end cap. Will high temp anti seize help reduce or elimnate this? Also any future host, should I have the gunsmith do .600 thread job?

Your reply did not answer my questions. I have the brush and hoppes thing figured out.

Sorry my iPhone cut off the rest of the response.

Use the brush to clean off the threads with hoppes. Anti sieze wont do anything to help.

Proper length of a 22lr thread job is .400-.440 depending on the manufacturer you ask.

You bring the muzzle too close you will increase first round pop and erosion of the baffles.

If your threads are .600 you need a .20" spacer

The threads on the Spectre are .630 long. Using it on hosts with shorter threads will cause build up on the mount. My solution was to use a consistent thread length (.400) on my hosts or to use a spacer. I don't believe there's anything you can put on the threads to keep them clean.

Thanks for the replys. Need to purchase a spacer.

The extra threads in the mount can always be removed, solving the problem.

And increasing first round pop in the process! No need to worry about the threads that get dirty, if it bothers you clean after use, its that simple.

Just remove the thread not being used. Do not modify the chamber. That's all I'm thinking .

And people say you don't need access to the crown of the barrel.

By removing the threads you WILL change the dimensions of the chamber, it may not be too noticeable but it will change it.

I spray a light coat of white lithium grease on the threads, then wipe them with my finger to make sure it spreads evenly. So far, my threads have all been relatively clean, and they always open up a lot easier than when I just threw the can on with no prepping.

I think silencer store sells them. We haven't done a run of them in awhile.
