Strike Industries BCTPFDE Barrel Thread Protector 1/2x28 FDE

The Strike Industries BCTPFDE Barrel Thread Protector shields threaded barrels on AR-15 platforms from damage while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. This aluminum thread protector prevents debris accumulation and cross-threading that can occur when muzzle devices are repeatedly installed and removed.

What Makes This Different

Unlike basic steel thread protectors that add unnecessary weight, the BCTPFDE features lightweight aluminum construction with a Flat Dark Earth finish that matches popular rifle colorways. The knurled exterior provides secure hand-tightening without requiring tools, while the recessed crown design protects the barrel's critical rifling exit point from impacts and wear.

Key Features

• Lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum construction reduces muzzle weight
• Flat Dark Earth anodized finish matches FDE rifle components
• 1/2"-28 TPI threading fits standard AR-15 barrels in .223/5.56
• Knurled exterior allows tool-free installation and removal
• Recessed crown design protects barrel rifling from damage
• Low-profile design maintains rifle balance and handling
• Corrosion-resistant anodized surface treatment

Range sessions and field use expose threaded barrels to dirt, moisture, and impact damage that can compromise accuracy and complicate muzzle device installation. The BCTPFDE's aluminum construction resists corrosion in humid environments while the anodized finish maintains its appearance through repeated handling. Competition shooters appreciate the quick removal for suppressor or compensator changes, while hunters benefit from the protection during transport and storage.
