5/8x24 threads for 22

[Matno]

Just picked up a Tikka Super Varmint (great gun!) in.223, and I see that it's threaded for 5/8x24 muzzle devices. That's great in theory, but the practical reality is that I'd prefer a muzzle brake with a 22 cal bore. The kicker is that I also want it to be a KeyMo brake for my suppressor. Anybody know of a brake that checks those boxes? I have one that's 30 cal, so it's not the end of the world if I can't find one, but it would be nice to have a slightly tighter fit for brake effectiveness.

You won’t be able to feel a difference.

I’m guessing you won’t find one, for good reason

I assume there is a liability issue. I've seen custom brakes that give you the option, but not suppressor mount ones.

IMHO you are over thinking it

You’re WAY overthinking this. You’ll never know the difference on a .223… Just get a 5/8-24 KeyMo and call it a day.

glad i found this thread thats awesome they did that on a factory rifle. I might pick one of those up, i just need to check if they are wylde out of teh box and then it be perfect!

100% agree.

I recommend upsizing your brake on a heavily used (and abused) rifle. I have lost track of how many shooters started having accuracy issues from carbon crusted brakes. Especially used brakes that went on multiple barrel jobs.

Now if I can just get those same shooters to clean the carbon off their crowns.......haha.

thats the scariest cleaning task for me. I tremble at the mere thought of a q tip destroying steel

Be happy its threaded 5/8. You run less of a risk of bore opening.

I thread all my 22 cal rifles 5/8-24 just to use some older direct thread 308 cans .

 

[tinker]

My 223 bolt action is also threaded 5/8 24 and I use Keymo as well.

All my .22‘s are threaded 5/8 24…..
