RTI Priest 2 shroud dimensions and end of barrel centering ring.

[BlackICE]

Does anyone know of or is willing to measure the shroud dimensions of the Priest 2, ID and OD?

How is the centering ring on the end of the barrel attached, is it thread on, press fit?

Hold tight I'll measure it for you this evening.

25mm OD

22mm ID

Centering ring is threaded on the end of barrel.

Thanks for the information. Is he OD exactly 25 millimeters or is a 25.4 which would be 1 in. The reason is I'm considering buying one of these and want to modify the shroud but if I can't find a replacement tube easily then that kind of turns me off doing a modification. The exact ID less important since that 0can be machined quite easily.

It’s a metric gun.

The SAE measurement is .986”

Thanks you for verifying it is metric and 25mm OD. I'm guessing that the ID is really 21mm for a wall thickness of 2mm. Since both end are threaded, thus measure a little larger. I found metric tubes that are 25mm OD and 21MM ID. I have read that Priest doesn't have any baffles and is loud without a moderator. Does the centering ring have holes that vent the air to the breach end of the shroud?

 

[Vetmx]

Yes the the ring is basically a washer with a ton of holes in it. I think they claimed better accuracy with this compared to an air stripper/muzzle brake. I just put Mrod baffles in mine to knock the sound down. Put the spring in first so some air can still vent back the shroud. I am not fully committed to my baffle system yet and still have testing to do. PCP’s got sidelined temporarily due to hunting season.
