Can anyone tell me what the muzzle thread size is on a Sako TRG-42. I think 1/14 but am not sure. Thanks. R.

No problem.
Are you installing a brake? Suppressor?

I am looking to install an Armalite AR 30 brake on this rifle. Armalite's thread size is 5/8 18 UNF 3A. I am not the best machinist in the world, so are these threads larger, or smaller than the 18/1 threads on the Sako? Can an adapter be made? Could the threads on the Armalite brake be machined out, and a sleave with the proper threads installed? Any help would be great. Thanks. R. P.S. 5/8 diameter converted to metric is 15.875. So the existing 5/8 thread size is smaller than the metric 18mm. This leaves thread depth. 18mm minus 15.875mm is 2.125mm, divided by two is 1.0625. Translated to inches, this leaves a thread depth of .042 inches. Would this be enough material left to work? Is my math right? Help! Thanks again. R. PPS Have moved to Gunsmith Forum. Thanks. R

You might be able to do something with a heli-coil. These are used when you strip out a spark plug. Ask some machinists or good mechanics. I would adapt the muzzle brake to fit the metric barrel. Although your country isn't metric, heli-coils are produced in your country for world sales. Never done this but repaired some spark plug holes on alluminium heads more than once. Just an idea to kick around.
It is better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.
