1/2x28 TPI Thread Compatibility

The 1/2x28 TPI thread pitch provides compatibility with standard AR-15 muzzle threading found on .223 and 5.56 barrels. This thread pitch is the standard specification for .223 and 5.56 chambered AR-15 barrels. The thread protector screws onto the threaded muzzle to cover and protect the threads when no muzzle device is installed.

0.712-Inch Outer Diameter Fitment

The 0.712-inch outer diameter is designed for standard profile barrels and matches typical barrel contours at the muzzle area. This outer diameter provides a flush or near-flush appearance with standard profile barrels. The fitment note indicates this thread protector is not designed for bull barrels which feature larger diameter profiles that would create a visible step between barrel and thread protector.

Knurled Exterior and Thread Protection

The knurled and textured exterior provides gripping surface for hand tightening the thread protector onto the muzzle threads without requiring tools. The carbon steel construction with black finish provides durability and corrosion resistance. The thread protector prevents damage to muzzle threads during storage, transport, or when muzzle devices are temporarily removed for cleaning or maintenance.

Follow safe handling and manufacturer instructions. Hand tighten only, do not over-torque. Ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws.
