aussie-ex Pat Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Hi All; I admit I have a hard time with the American 'inch" standard but I have a barrel I got years ago. Today I received a compensator but it will not screw onto the barrel. Also, there is no hole in the compensator for the sight roll pin.As far as I can measure, the barrel thread is 1 per MM (16 threads per 9/16th inch).The compensator seems to have threads less dense (maybe 11 threads per 13MM of threads)Is it the barrel or the compensator that is not Thompson standard?

Oldtrooper Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Personally, I'd see if I could make arrangements to send it to Dan Block ... If you don't have the tools or expertise Thompson semi's can drive you nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussie-ex Pat Posted July 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) It apparently had a burr because I finally got it to thread.I am really cautious about forcing anything with this gun.Whew !!!!

aussie-ex Pat Posted July 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 I have been trying to measure the threads but the ones inside the compensator are awkward to examine.Not going to try to force anything. It seems really odd there would be two different threads for the compensator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Gi and west Hurley semi barrel/comp threads are the same... I don't recall exactly when kahr started the press fit.. But it's been quite a few years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurencen Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 the thread should be 3/4 x 28 tpi, get a 1/4 UNF bolt from the store and see if the teeth align up, this will confirm the TPI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
