Walther Uzi: Barrel Thread

[walesdave]

Hi All,

Does anyone know what size thread protector I would need if I take the fake suppressor off my Walther Uzi? I've tried the one of my Ruger 10/22 and it's way too big.

Cheers

David

so its not a 1/2 unf?

[Demonic69]

It could be 1/2"-28 like the P22 and G22

[Jackmanuk]

was thinking that for the american market but the word "big" dusnt help, or possible 5/8

[walesdave]

Ok - I accept saying big 'dusnt' help - how about saying it's too large, any better?

I'm not asking for guesswork but was wondering if anyone knew the size I needed. It's definitely not 1/2" or 5/8".

Not to worry, I'll pop it along to my local gun shop and see if they have anything that fits.

Cheers

You could measure it

I would expect it to be metric given the origin however they may have built it with the US market in mind. If you have a vernier measure the OD of the thread, is it around 14,0mm?

go b&Q grab one of every size ... then go screwfix and get one of every size B&Q didnt have ( will be more they dont then do) and start trying them out .... then return the them to the shop as unused :)

Get out your calipers and thread gauge, surely EVERYONE owns both of these items? ;-)

I don't read my own signature!

Calipers and Gauge...hmmm.....my eldest is currently tearing the house apart just looking for a ruler for her homework :cool2:

Anyway...couple of photos to hopefully shed some light.

Barrel with sleeve on. I want to use a thread protector when set up like this to keep the sleeve in place.


Barrel unsleeved. This is a very thin bit of metal!!


Forgive the feet and sponge-bob jammies in the last photo....at least I missed my belly out :lol:
