Threads or no threads, it's still a great rifle. If I were concerned about threads, I'd buy the Montana that I want now, while they are still uncut. I will, however, be trying my can on my new mountain ascent when it arrives. Not all of these lightweights make it to the mountains. We have "hills", at best, in the piney woods of East Texas. 😃

Here's one thing not mentioned yet:
A threaded barrel lets you mount any flashider or brake.
That allows you to put a rifle muzzle down on your floorboards and preserves your crown from damage. Got a $23 KAK on both the CTR 260 and son's 16-in. TC Contender .300 BO when the Harvester ain't on.
Threaded Montana? I wants one!
Had been trying to figure out how to scrounge up the money for an Adirondack, this'll make things a bit easier.
Be nice if they just offered Montana carbines, too.
As for the .22/250, an 18-inch 8-twist threaded Montana would approach Tennessee game gun Shibumi...

What would the overall length of a suppressor equipped 84M?

Did the barrel profile or muzzle OD change with the new threaded models?
Is a non threaded Montana barrel thick enough for 7/16-28 threads?

What would the overall length of a suppressor equipped 84M? Would depend on the length of the suppressor. Figure 46" + length of the suppressor.

Bought a Mountain Ascent .280AI a year ago, removed the brake, installed the cap as I removed it from the box and scoped it with Talley QDs, silver and finally, a Leupy silver 3.5x10x40.
Running 160NPs over RL-26 at 3000 fps/mv and good groups, don't care if the threads are there or not.
Packed it some in steep BC mountains last year and I LOVE this rig, wish I had had it 50 years ago!

To each his own.......me? I'm glad I got mine before the threaded barrels.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

I'm not seeing the problem. Could come in handy for the kids.
Yup.

I want a bipod that screws on the end. That would be killer!

Will make a nice attachment point for a bayonet lug. Handy for finishing off deer and communists.

If you use a heavy enough bullet, you just stack communists up on the bayonet and shoot em off. Great idea!

When maximum communist penetrating ability is necessary, savvy capitalists reach for Barnes bullets.

If I were to suppress a Kimber, or any other factory rifle, I wouldn't trust the factory threads to be concentric with the bore and would have it cut off and re-threaded.

So for a tiny minority that want something threaded on the barrel, the majority of us that don't get to pay for that threading, or pay to have it removed?
Seems if someone really wants a threaded barrel they should pay to have it done, not me. Hate to break it to you Brad, but you're the tiny minority. David No he is not. Nobody in my hunt camp likes the idea of a threaded muzzle hunting rifle at all.

Other than adding a little to the cost of the rifle, why is a threaded muzzle such a disappointment?
