The Timber Creek Outdoors 1/228TPBLC Thread Protector shields threaded muzzles from damage while maintaining the sleek profile of your firearm. This precision-machined component prevents thread contamination and protects against impacts that could render suppressor or muzzle device mounting impossible.
What Makes This Different
CNC-machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum, this thread protector delivers superior strength compared to standard steel alternatives while reducing overall weight. The Type III hard coat anodized finish resists corrosion and wear better than basic black oxide treatments. Precise manufacturing tolerances ensure proper thread engagement without binding or cross-threading.
