Accessory threads for .223
what are the norms? I know there is a "standard" one for AR-15s, I assume I should just use that.

are there any other threads I should consider? I am assuming the AR thread is by far the most common for accessories. Is there a thread which has some sort of advantage?

AR barrel
Sir;
In threading your AR barrel with a die instead of a lathe be sure you start the threads square. One way I did it was to mount the barrel in my three jaw chuck and use the tailstock to center the die in starting on the barrel - but when you do that, if you have a lathe go ahead and thread it anyway. Always thread to a shoulder and when you tighten it up do NOT use much pressure - you'll expand the barrel at the joint. Use "peel washers." If its for a muzzle flash hider or brake use a "VORTEX" flash hider. Harry B. |

Harry, don't worry, I am writing a check. I don't have the equipment to do this myself.
