Precision Armament M4 Shoulderless Thread Adapter, 1/2x28 to 5/8x24
The M4 Shoulderless Thread Adapter converts a 1/2x28 barrel to a 5/8x24 external thread and disappears under the muzzle device. With no shoulder of its own, the device seats directly against the barrel shoulder, which keeps full thread-joint strength and gives better alignment to the bore. Internal and external threads are single-point cut in the same operation to UNEF Class 3 tolerances.
It is 0.625 inch long and 0.625 inch in diameter, weighs 0.2 ounce, and is machined from pre-hardened HTSR 400-series stainless. Precision Armament intends it for a more permanent installation; without wrench flats it is not the adapter to swap between rifles, which is what the standard M4 Muzzle Thread Adapter is for.
Add the Precision Armament M4 Shoulderless Thread Adapter (1/2x28 to 5/8x24) to your build and see how it enhances your platform.
