Spectre Issues

ThePatriot · Post by **ThePatriot** » Wed Nov 25, 2009 2:02 pm

I mostly shoot the Spectre on my P22, mostly. The barrel on my 10/22 has a longer threaded area and because of the buildup past the P22 threads I can't thread all the way on the 10/22. Is it safe to shoot when it is threaded about 2/3 of the way on the 10/22? Is it safe to bead blast the threads like I do the baffles?

Copper brush?

personally, i wouldnt try it, i may cause the threads to wear prematurely. but dont quote me on that cos i use a steel brush to clean the threading on my suppressors. i start around half way down the brush and "thread" the suppressor onto the brush while applying pressure to the brush. cleans off the threads and the bristles get down into the threading very well for me. good luck

Carefully run a lubricated 1/2x28 tap through the mount.

I called SWR because I was having the exact same issue with my Spectre when I wanted to use it on my rifle (with the longer thread depth). They told me I may be in danger of a baffle strike if the can wasn't threaded all the way down.

It would be nice to have a second thread mount for use specifically with the rifle. I don't remember if SWR said they were unable to send me a second thread mount legally or what the reason was. I don't have an extra one and have to clean the existing thread mount thoroughly before using on the rifle.

It is safe to "dip" the threaded mount.

I use a slightly undersized .5x28 tap.

Did you buy or modify? I need exactly this.

I have this issue all the time when swapping the can between a 22RF AR and my other hosts that have a shorter threaded portion of the barrel. I use a M14 chamber brush to clean the threads on the can, and have had no problems as a result. Just brush the threads of the can after use on a barrel with a shorter threaded mount, and you're GTG. Do it each time and don't let it build up.

I'll try a brush if I can find mine. I don't clean my guns much and haven't used/seen my brushes in months. Thanks guys

I will award 25 cool points to whoever names the movie reference in my first post.

You mean the diner dialog quote from Heat that is your signature? Your avatar is a pretty big hint.

no, in my post paragraph, not my signature.

You are now cooler than ever Yugo

I was just curious to see who had a common interest in movies. This thread seems dead but I'll have to nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

What the hell happened to my last post? I did not throw a Miley Cyrus photo in here. =(

The first thing I thought of as I read your initial post was Aliens. I wasn't sure if you did that on purpose until I read the whole thread.

And don't you feel dumber for reading it. And Hemi, bitch, you just got jacked bitch!

From Aliens to Family guy......I need to get out more.

This is super common. All you need to do is use a .45 cal bore brush and some solvent or CLP (doesn't matter) and twist the brush through the threads just like your screwing in in. Then, pull it out hard and this will break loose any carbon/lead solvent on the threads.

I use a Dewey brush that made a Synthetic instead of a brass. Brass isn't going to hurt the steel threads though. Also, take a bronze toothbrush and clean your host mount threads.

When you shoot your guns at the range shoot the gun that has the longest threadmount first. Then work your way backwards to shorter threadmounts and you won't have to do this at the range/wherever.
Or, just make sure all your .22 host have the same OAL threads, usually .400". I did this and then I got the Tac Sol M4 AR Upper which has like .600" threads or something for screwing on the FH with a crush washer- they have to be long.
Lastly, the real solution to this problem is having about 15 .22 suppressors laying around in your safe.

Could a person make a "thread spacer" that would screw onto the longer threads and take up the extra space? I don't see why it couldn't be done as long as it is done well. Basically you just need a "short" thread protector; something that screws on and seats against the shoulder of the barrel thread, and still leaves .400" of open threads.
