Savage 516, 308 pistol.....

I have a chance to buy a Savage 516, 308, bolt action pistol.

The 516 has a muzzle brake.

I have a Suppressor, requiring 5/8x24 threads.

If I remove brake are the threads 5/8x24?

====================

I called Savage.com, customer Service: tech questions and the answer I got was: ????

I haven't a clue.

But .308 muzzle breaks / flash suppressors are normally 5/8"x24TPS.
They will have either a .635", or .735" thread length to the shoulder.

But I don't know if savage followed convention or not.

""They will have either a .635", or .735" thread length to the shoulder.""


I hate to admit this :o( ...but what does that mean...?

And thank you for taking time to respond,

mike sr.

Thread length from the muzzle to the stop shoulder on the barrel where it tightens down.

Thank you...
