markymark Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 M18x1 isn’t compatible with 5/8-24. You could use an adaptor, but would advise against it, as you are stacking up the tolerances. New mod or new thread bridge if applicable if it were me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chanonry Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 M18x1 is a common threading. Just buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moorlander Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 You can go the other way M18 X 1 to 5/8" with thread adapter/ reducer but not the way you want to go , as has been said before buy another mod. What make/model is your moderator ? BTW you have a moderator and brake not break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danpd Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 You could have your M18x1 rethreaded to 5/8 without losing any barrel length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warranty would go out the window and technically it should be re proofed, get ready for a three month wait , if the OP tells us what make his mod is ie if its a Wildcat then he can just by the guts with the right thread.

Proof? He's in Ireland, hence the use of the word "Tread" and the fact his screen name is Connaught Ranger should be clues....or is that clews? Never mind that the rifle he bought is a Begorra ?
