Been to my local gunsmith today and he's sorted it for me. He reckons it was a combination of a tight thread on the mod and the thread on my rifle. He ran a tap through the mod thread and recut and recessed the thread on my rifle a little, all screws together nicely now. The best bit is he didn't charge me, quite unusual for him! ATB, Gareth.

Thanks Ronin, all the threads look clean and the mod spins on nicely to start with. I didn't want to force anything (in the land of hamfisted, I am king!) so it looks like I'll have to get the muzzle thread recut to suit. Thanks again, Gareth.

Evening all, I've just tried fitting my new PES mod which was machined to 5/8"x18 to my Remmy which was threaded by Edgar Bros in house at what I was told 5/8". The mod screws on ok for about half of the thread and then stops. Are there any variations on 5/8" threads and have I cocked up!

Thanks, Gareth.
