UK-spec barrels with muzzle threads are M18x1.5 (metric)
As of winter 2010/2011, AI-North America (AINA) is shipping rifles with barrels from a US manufacturer. These barrels are threaded 3/4-24 (US standard).
This confuses things somewhat.
You can tell the difference because 3/4-24 threads have a pitch of approx 0.042". M18x1.5 threads have a pitch of approx 0.059".
