What is the most common or standard muzzle break thread pattern?

Most .30 calibers are 5/8x24.

.224 cals and smaller are normally 1/2-28

24 cal to .284 cals are often 5/8-24 but there are some 9/16-24's out there

30 cal is normally 5/8-24

and above 30 cal is still often 5/8-24 and there are some 3/4-20's out there. I have used 5/8-24 up to .458 cal diameter and worked great.

Savage uses 9/16-28 on their "on/off" adjustable muzzle brakes but for its other non-adjustable brakes uses 1/2-28 and 5/8-24 respectively.

Hope that helps some.

Thanks for the info. I was looking for the on-off Savage brake, but threads are all wrong
