Quick Tip: How To Check Thread Pitch

Today Brownells Firearm Support Tech Caleb Savant is NOT screwing around. Well maybe he is just a little. But in a good way. He shows us how to check thread pitch. Normally you can get the thread pitch of for example a threaded muzzle by checking the information that came with the rifle or barrel itself. If you dont have that info heres the easiest way to determine what the pitch is. Youll need a set of calipers and a thread pitch gauge. First use the calipers to measure the diameter across the top of the threads. Then grab the thread pitch gauge and find the part of the gauge that perfectly fits in the threads. Keep in mind that youll need separate gauges for metric and English standard threads. Once you know the pitch you can buy the muzzle device accessory or replacement part you need - and know itll fit. The supply isnt endless but there are a LOT of Brownells videos to watch: ,
