Description

The Timber Creek Outdoors 5/824TPBLC Thread Protector safeguards precision-cut muzzle threads from damage during transport and storage. This CNC-machined aluminum component prevents cross-threading and contamination that can compromise suppressor attachment or muzzle device installation.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard steel thread protectors that can seize onto barrel threads, this billet aluminum construction provides smooth removal even after extended exposure to heat and fouling. The precision 5/8x24 threading matches common .30 caliber and larger bore rifles without binding. The anodized finish resists corrosion while maintaining dimensional stability across temperature extremes.

Key Features

CNC-machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum for dimensional precision
5/8x24 TPI threading fits .30 caliber rifles and larger bore firearms
Type III hard anodized black finish resists wear and corrosion
Knurled exterior provides secure grip for hand installation and removal
Low-profile design minimizes snag hazards during tactical operations
Heat-resistant aluminum construction prevents thread galling
Compatible with AR-10, .308 Winchester, .300 Winchester Magnum, and similar platforms

Field performance remains consistent across temperature ranges from -40°F to 200°F without thread binding or dimensional changes. The aluminum material dissipates heat rapidly, preventing the thermal expansion issues common with steel protectors. Competition shooters and tactical operators rely on this thread protector during transport between shooting positions and storage in rifle cases.
