Not sure if anyone else has ran into this issue, but I have a model 10 fcp-k sitting in a XLR chassis. I just got a Sig 223 titanium QD suppressor for it and an AR. The barrel is threaded 5/8-24 instead of the standard 1/2-28 for .22 cal. There are no adapters I can find that will allow me to use the suppressor on that barrel. Has anyone ever had one rethreaded or have any other ideas?!
Look up John 11-87 on accurateshooter
He sells 1/2-28 to 5/8-24 adapters
Thanks, but there’s quite a few that make it from 1/2-28 to 5/8-24. I need it the other way but everyone says its to prevent putting a 22 cal suppressor on a 30 cal rifle. Savage just decided not to go with the standard 1/2-28 for my .223.Quote:

Yes, it does. My savage is threaded factory 5/8-24 which is unusual for a 223. The standard Sig QD is 1/2-28 so that one doesn’t work. I ordered a Sig 5/8-24 QD from their 30 cal suppressor thinking it would work, but as a safety issue my 223 suppressor wont fit over a 30 cal mount so I’m stuck. Not sure if that is something a gunsmith could rethread or not either.Quote:

I would call Savage and ask why the heck they put a 5/8-24 thread on a 223 barrel.
Should be able to be rethreaded, though you might loose an inch of barrel length if he can't get clean threads on the existing turned section and has to cut that section off. I'd still call Savage first though to see if they would warranty it. Sounds to me like a screw-up on their end where someone used the wrong program on the machining center when making the barrel. All of the outside machining (shank threads, contour, crown and muzzle threads) is done in one operation.
Not a screw up. All Savage FCP-K 223’s were threaded that way (big heavy fluted bull barrel). I wouldn’t be surprised if the newer SR models are also the same way. Just sucks for suppressing it! I guess I could put my Omega 30 cal can on it but that defeats the purpose of getting a dedicated 223 can!Quote:

Found a local gunsmith to do it for $125. Hope it goes well!Quote:
