What is a threaded barrel?

A threaded barrel is a feature commonly seen on firearms that allows for the attachment of various accessories such as muzzle brakes, suppressors, or compensators.

Threaded barrels have grooves or threads cut into the end of the barrel to provide a secure connection for the threaded accessory. The most common thread pitches for firearms are 1/2x28 and 5/8x24, although other pitches may be used depending on the type of gun and accessories being used.

Threaded barrels are popular among gun owners who want to customize and enhance the performance of their firearms. They offer the ability to easily attach and detach accessories without the need for gunsmithing or modifications to the firearm.

It is important to note that threaded barrels are strictly regulated in some jurisdictions, and the use of certain accessories such as suppressors may require special permits or licenses. It is always important to check and comply with local laws and regulations regarding the use of threaded barrels and accessories.
