Need help: identify barrel on Mac10 for correct suppressor
Looking to get a suppressor for my Mac10 FA.
Having a hard time finding one that might fit though. I measured the thread pitch with a metric gauge and it's 1.0. Would be nice to figure out who makes this barrel though and contact them to find out for sure what thread pitch is and if I can even get a suppressor for it. Here are some pics. thanks all. H |

Measure the diameter. Measure the number of turns per inch (or per centimeter)
Or get a regular upper and use one of the many Mac 10 cans on the market.

O.k., outside diameter of barrel= .61inch
threads 24tpi so looks like thread is 24 x 1 Any thoughts on what the manufacturer of the barrel or flash suppressor might be? Obviously if I could find that out, then I'll know for certain thread size and can see if I can find an appropriate can for it or have it re-threaded. thanks. H |

Another half assed explanation...
It's Diameter x T.P.I. My Ruger is 1/2x28. (half inch diameter threads, 28 turns per inch) My Sig is 13.5x1 mm (thirteen and a half millimeters diameter, one turn per millimeter) Also, do not measure from the the outside diameter of the barrel. You measure the O.D. of the threads. I am guessing you have a 9/16x24 threaded barrel. 9/16x24 is a thread pitch used by some manufacturers for .45 acp stuff. My calculator tells me that 9/16 is .5625. If your threads are in fact .61, don't know what it would be. Hope this helps more than it confuses.
