I'm waiting to take delivery of a Browning X-Bolt in .223 rem,and it's screwcut M14x1,but,have heard tales of there not being enough shoulder to securely seat a moderator (we are allowed these in the UK)and to have it re-cut 1/2"unf.I'd like to hear from anyone who has had problems with this,please. thanks, Alan
Unfortunately i don't have a ton of knowledge with using moderators in the U.S. since its just about impossible to get one where i live. The one thing i do know is that the few i see that have them do have it 1/2 "cut. That's not to say what you have wont work but it seems the norm is 1/2". did you have it cut or did it come already cut?
Hi Billy, the rifle comes cut from the factory,at m14x1 which really is an odd size,most rifles are cut 1/2"x20 unf.The reason for the original question is because i was told that with the factory cut doesn't give much bearing (1mm) for the moderator to mate to. When I get the rifle (very soon,I hope) I'll consider having it re-cut to 1/2". Alan
