How To Keep A Thread Protector On A Threaded Barrel
Thread protector keeps working loose
General silencer give-and-take. If you desire to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the burglarize or pistol section for that brand.

When shooting without the tin on my P229 Sig. I tightened information technology a bit with channel locks but haven't really cranked down on it, so to speak, probably torqued to about 12-xv lbs or so. Later on 6-8 shots, I accept to remember to tighten it again. I've considered getting some of that "Lock-Tight" stuff but don't want it to get hot and set up by getting it off.
What exercise other use?

Re: Thread protector keeps working loose
The only TP's that won't back off are some metric ones with an internal o-ring (for example AAC M16x1 or Tornado Tech M13.5x1).
Otherwise TP'due south will ever work their fashion loose. I found it easier to merely not shoot with them attached. The muzzle smash won't damage the threads. Just be mindful of the exposed threads when moving things effectually.

Become to Autozone and get a copper washer (Thin and malleable) thet permit you to tighten them so they shell the copper (By paw) and hold the TP in place. used information technology on my last deployment for a pistol that kept doing the same thing. (Shot mainly Dogs and lights with information technology so I didnt need to carry attached)

Re: Thread protector keeps working loose
I say just shoot without it. I generally take mine off when I beginning shooting at the range and put it on when I leave. Plus that makes it faster to throw your can on if y'all make up one's mind to accept some "placidity time".

depending upon the threads you lot may be able to go an O band between the shoulder and the showtime of the threads - if not then plumber'south teflon record works well.

Please give more detail on your bodily thread protector, brand, fabric,
how loose when yous put on, etc.
For example the one'southward fabricated out of Delrin
that Ray Brandes supplied with his Swell Barrels never come loose during shooting. The
material allows ane to brand a 75% thread with no damage to barrel.

Re: Thread protector keeps working loose
I employ a petty Gun-Tite occasionally (not every time) on the threads. I've found that its residue doesn't interfere with installation or removal of the suppressors or thread protectors, but offers but plenty resistance that the thread protector doesn't loosen.
In other words it leaves just enough goo behind to go along the thread protector from spinning off. At to the lowest degree in my experience.

I call back I'll look online for Gun-Tite and run across if I can combine it with another supply order. I've been using teflon tape since someone here mentioned it and I had it on hand. The teflon tape works adequately well. I'yard careful non to get any close to the bore. I even used it with my cans. The threads shred teflon record pretty good but it brushes of with a gun cleaning brush.

Please requite more detail on your actual thread protector, make, cloth,
how loose when y'all put on, etc.For example the one'southward fabricated out of Delrin

All my pistol barrels are 1/2x28, fifty-fifty the .40 South&W. I've gotten the thread protectors mixed up, since there was an extra with each barrel. I had the loosening problem with all of them, besides with the cans after near 8-10 rounds when they warm upwardly.

Re: Thread protector keeps working loose
Does your barrel have a shoulder? If yes just purchase a pack of wave washers. Its what my ruger 22/45 came with to concur on the TP. Since it worked amazingly I bought some larger ones on amazon and have been amazed at how well they work on my 308 and ar. A moving ridge washer holds the TP under tension then it tin't piece of work its way back off. It doesn't have the short comings of Teflon tape or lock tight.

Re: Thread protector keeps working loose
This thread protector has worked best for me.
http://www.store.silencerco.com/collect ... engagement
It's for Silencerco's 22 o-ring engagement threading, just works corking on my standard 1/2*28 threads. The o-ring bites into the threads a footling when y'all twist information technology on and it has never come up loose. It doesn't thread all the manner on because of the o-ring, but it is close plenty.
It cost more than Teflon tape or some thread goo, but their is nothing to clean upwards subsequently using it. And, to me, is the best solution.
