Howa mini action 6.5gren questions

[Rtheurer]

They make bushings to go from 1/2 to 5/8, But I cant think of one single 30 cal that comes with a 1/2X28 thread....

My fifth one arrived. I am not real excited after receiving it. It is one of the new wood stock offerings in 7.62x39, threaded barrel. It is threaded 1/2”, you do the math. I am not real pleased as I looked on their website, I read it as a 5/8 tenon. Buddy just got his 6.5G and it is 5/8.
The taper on this 7.62x39 if I were to cut it back to where I could get 5/8, would be under 16”.
I sent an email, will see what becomes of this.
I looked up a standard thread for threaded muzzle and 1/2” isn’t listed for a 30 caliber.
Anyone have a 1/2” 30 and use a can with it?

My Rem 700 (30-06) and 9mm PCC gun are both threaded 1/2x28. I have no issues with a can. There is very little meat between bore and threads but no issues.

Edit to add this old bit of info. Even the 5/8x24 is a compromise.

Muzzle Threading — Don’t Remove Too Much Steel « Daily Bulletin

Our friend Robert Whitley of ARX Enterprises LLC has learned, through careful measurement and testing, that some barrels threaded 5/8 x 24 tpi at the muzzle may not deliver optimal accuracy. The reason is that the end of the barrel can bell out slightly, like a trombone, because too much steel...

I have one in 6.5 grendel 20” sporter barrel. It shot ok. Realistically, mine was a 1-1.5 moa gun after 400 rounds, multiple bullets, and several powder types. Kind of gave up on it but just love the little mini action so I had a heavy krieger barrel spun on. Now it shoots 1” groups at 200 yards. It still sits in the factory green stock with plastic bottom. I just bedded it and opened up the barrel channel.
