Zaitsev Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Considering which thread to go on a 9.3 barrel. 15x1 is advocated by ASE UTRA but the residual barrel seems quite thin under the relief cut. Has anyone threaded their 9.3 and if so which thread?CheersG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJR Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hi G. Is the barrel big enough to take 18x1? Northstars are available with that thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaitsev Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 It's a medium sporter so won't take an 18. The largest would be a 16. Think I may have come up with an alternative though. 5/8x18 spigoted and mount the front iron sight on the thread protector. Better supported all round.

Bushdog Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 If you do it, I'd love to see pics of the front sight on the thread protector - I think that's likely to be an elegant solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratwhiskers Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 "Elegant Solutions"....... Hm..... G, that sounds like adding Rough Cyder and something Slippery to the mix as well...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanF Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 There is a special Hell - just for folks that moderate medium bore classics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaitsev Posted May 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Oh bugger, I'm in it then! To be fair I reckon that the solution has turned out nicely. Will post a thread (pun not intended..) once it's all done. Rgds G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushdog Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Tend to agree with IanF about those that moderate classic mid-bores (being holier-than-thou now, with an un-moderated .375 H&H BRNO!!). Not sure about the cider and slipperiness analogy - I have always thought putting a front sight on a thread protector would be a good way of maintaining use of irons for close and moving targets on any moderated rifle - the loss of iron-sight capability is one of the evils of a moderated rifle, I think. OK, elegant is probably (certainly??) the wrong word, but a solution, none-the-less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratwhiskers Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Do not worry dear readers..... For I have seen the light (or at least some picci's of the aforementioned) She's looking good G' Ian, l'm sure G know's that some of us have a whole list of Hellish Gates through which we are bound to enter...... I just pity the poor blighters on the other side as they know not what's heading their way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
