So here is the deal. I want to get a storm lake, kkm, or wilson threaded barrel for my Glock Gen 3 23. I need help figuring out what compensator and what thread pitch they will be. I don't want to spend 275 on the compensator, but don't mind spending that much on the barrel. I would like to mix the barrel/compensator manufacturers. Any previous experience or help is much appreciated. Thanks gents.
He is its future home.

How many places are you going to post the same question? http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_5_4/151317_Help_with_a_thread_pitch_question.html Well, the general forum is a pretty good place. Most people see it and sometimes even respond with valuable input. And as for posting it in the Glock page... well I think you can probably figure out the reason for that. If you find anywhere else you think I could post it, please advise. |

Could you explain the benifit to this? Is is mainly for the simplicity factor of manufacturers to be in-line? Should I purchase one designed for an o-ring style supressor? Quoted:

.40 barrels are generally 9/16x24. Could you explain the benifit to this? Is is mainly for the simplicity factor of manufacturers to be in-line? Should I purchase one designed for an o-ring style supressor? That's the American standard for .40/10mm. It's so you can mix and match between brands, just like you want to. It'd be a royal pain in the ass if everyone used proprietary thread patterns for their stuff. Suppressors will be that thread pattern. Compensators that you're likely to find for a Glock are going to be that thread pattern. Race gun compensators will usually be a finer thread. If you're not running a suppressor then you don't need one designed for the o-ring style. |

If I plan on running a can later, would it hurt anything to buy the o-ring style "just in case" I decide to? Thanks again |

M14.5x1 LH is a great thread pattern as it features an o-ring bearing surface to keep the threads sealed off from the propellant particulates and the left hand thread keeps the suppressor from unscrewing during use. American made components don't generally come in that thread pattern. And the o-ring can be put on any thread pattern. |

You will not have a problem finding suppressor pistons in metric pattern or any 'industry standard' thread size today. You can't just put an o-ring on any thread pattern. There are factors in the design of the muzzle device and how the thread indexes that will determine if an o-ring can be used. |

He's talking about buying an American made barrel and a compensator, not a suppressor. Neither of which is likely to be found in a metric pattern. |
