Threading Tikka 223

[Fishermen0105]

I have a Tikka 223 I'm thinking about threading for suppressor use. Whats the best option? I'd prefer 5/8-24 with a flared shoulder like my Fieldcrafts but not sure its worth the extra cost. I think i could thread 1/2-28 and use an adaptor or run my YHM turbo 2 on it. I'm sure theres plenty of threaded tikka 223's out there by now. I'm new to supressors and already love the noise reduction.

Most 223 rifles will be threaded 1/2-28. If there's enough material there, sure, it could be threaded 5/8-24.

Thread it 1/2-28 and then loctite on a 1/2-28 to 5/8-24 adapter.

Industry standard will be 1/2x28 for 223/556.

If the silencer is 223 specific it might have 1/2x28 threading. In that case, that’s what I’d get the barrel threaded for.

If I was using a silencer I already had that was 5/8x24, I’d get a shoulder installed.

I have both. Hyperion k (5/8-24) and a turbo t2 (1/2-28) I’m thinking 1/2-28 so I can use either.

 

[Fishermen0105]

It’s something like $125 to thread and another $125 to basically have an adaptor threaded with shoulder to get to 5/8-24 to use the Hyperion. Or I can have it threaded 1/2-28 and run my own adaptor or direct thread the turbo t2. Seems more versatile for my current situation at 1/2-28.

Cut my tiika .223 to 18" and threaded 1/2 x 28 with an adapter to 5/8x24 Roksett running a Hyperion K. Don't regret it one bit. Also the adapter makes sure there is adequate shoulder for the Hyperion K.

I'm using the Rexsilentium adapter, its $18.50.

Check the .233 for elk, bear, deer, etc thread, someone just posted a really nice solution by a gun smith out of ID.

Good ideas. Thanks!

When y'all get around to finally breaking the shackles of imperialism in your maths (yes, with an s) ... M14x1 works really well on Tikka Lite and Superlite barrels.

Finally got it all set up…

8 shots. Moved it over .1 mils and started ringing steel out to 500
