Wilson Combat barrel in 308 win. Had threaded by a local shop in anticipation of suppressors. Had a Dead Air Key micro brake with a touch of Rocksett for the Sandman S while I waited for the Nomad Ti. The sandman s set up shot great.
Boiled the MB to release the Rocksett. Brake came off easy. No die to clean threads so used a dental pick to scrape the gunk off.
Since I was so close with the pick, I noticed they look wonky to my untrained eye.
Looking at tap and clearance drill sizes 5/8 x 24 major diameter is 0.625 and minor diameter is 0.5739
Mine are tapered so:
Major diameter at muzzle are 0.591- 0.630 at the shoulder
Minor diameter 0.573 at muzzle to 0.594 at shoulder.
