9/16-24 threaded spacer?

[Dave in WI]

I have used these 1/2-28 threaded spacers when threading a .22 cal muzzles on a small diameter barrel to give me a good shoulder. I thread the muzzle .250" longer than normal, thread and loctite this on and touch the forward shoulder while still set up in lathe to insure concentric shoulder.
Threaded 1/2-28 spacer
I keep running into larger cal bores that I want to thread 9/16-24 where minimal shoulder would exist. Is anyone aware of a similar spacer available in the 9/16-24?

Why wouldn't you make them?

Exactly. It takes what, mby 10 minutes to whip one (or more) out with a proper tap? I use cutoff barrel drops for the spacers. I take the tapered drop and turn a section parallel so I can hold it in the chuck. I try to keep several ready to go for things like this.

Thanks guys. I didn't have the proper tap, one on the way now. Was looking for the lazy way out.

"Lazy" way ( well, for me time is $$ so I call it the smart way) is to use a thread protector for this.

Lol. That's why I posted on here. I am not a machinist, but, I machine stuff. I am constantly working out of my "comfort zone". Sometimes the answer is staring you in the face and you can't see it. I have those thread protectors hanging on my wall....
Thanks, everyone!

On a similar but opposite note, I've. made a few brakes with 9/16 x 32 threads on .670 barrels and turned the brakes to .670 for a no seam look.

The .050+ steel over the male barrel thread have held together without incident.
