The Strike Industries BCTPBLU Barrel Thread Protector safeguards AR-15 barrel threads from damage while adding a distinctive blue anodized finish. This precision-machined aluminum component prevents cross-threading and debris accumulation that can compromise muzzle device installation.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic steel thread protectors, the BCTPBLU features Strike Industries' signature blue Type III hard-coat anodizing that resists wear and corrosion. The knurled exterior provides superior grip for hand-tightening and removal without tools. Precision CNC machining ensures perfect thread engagement and prevents binding that damages barrel threads.
