texan .457 barrel OD

Jump to latest Follow Reply
"BayStYat"I am in need of the OD for a Texan 457 from the end of the barrel and back 2 inches. I am getting a muzzle brake and need info if someone can help out. 

thanks


Hey check out Mr. Hollowpoints Website, he is another source for some good hunting rounds that he has tested in his own Texan, Bob is a good guy and will give you some good info he answers emails.

So Far what I have found out is that the OD of the barrel is .64 I have only found this answer from one site so it is unconfirmed but that is kind of a off size 5/8 thread is .62 so we are looking at 2/10 over,
No matter what Eric I wouldn't attempt to thread your own barrel unless you REALLY know what your doing.
I don't and to be honest I don't know what it would take to thread a barrel down to a 5/8 The Range that I have found on most Tap/Die sets are .585 to .594 for a 5/8 thread cut. That would mean you would need to have the barrel turned down to .594 then threaded, 
I am guessing here but a buddy of mine had his barrel turned and it cost him $150.00

Hope this helps some

Airforce told me 18mm which is 0.709 inch. I am not sure what to go with now

According to my barrel I'd go with AirForce. And it is the same diameter all the way down the exposed barrel.
