Anyone care to put a mic on the end of the barrel for me? Curious as to approx contour of the barrel.

Mine did not ship with a thread protector, only the brake. On my PRC, I had a gunsmith crank me out a matching one, and it's so good that you can't tell it's there. For the Creed, I bought a cheap generic protector that doesn't match.

The PRC and the Creed have different barrel profiles. PRC at the protector barrel junction is .675. Creed is .585

I don't use the brakes at all.

Thanks Paul, that .585 is a true feather weight contour, handled one tonight.
