Where did you get that thread protector from?
That looks pretty good. I was considering making one once I get the rifle, but the amount of work involved doesn't really make sense if I can get one like that reasonably priced. Plus it'll give me an excuse to visit Nordic! Brad would really like to sell me an Anschutz.. I'll have to work on him to expand into the Tikka market.
I picked up this metal thread protector.
Could you add a little more information. There’s 4 different models, lost the barrel stats. somewhere on my desk

1/2-28
The thread is as Got Juice? indicates (1/2 - 28). The diameter of the thread protector is 18mm.
North American market is 1/2-28 UNEF, correct. FYI Oz etc gets 1/2-20 UNF
18.5 OD on the OEM protector
I made three in different metals just for fun.....
Aluminum, Brass, Steel (cold blued)
FYI the time and material to make one is not worth it to sell them, especially if a blued steel one can be had for $20 (or less).
For that matter any 1/2-28 thread flash arrestor will fit.

The thread protector I showed above is 0.25mm (or 0.0098") less than the muzzle diameter all the way around. I figured it was close enough for rock 'n' roll (why am I reminded of a Nazareth album?).
That's what I figured, but just for info the OEM one is 18.5
Well with the -48C we been getting here the last few weekends, I got bored and decided to trim the Roberston stock to fit the T1X. Sure glad I did, much better stock, look and fit.

Took my T1X out for the first time today. It was +2c and a little windy. I used CCI SV (unsorted) to sight it in. It's going to take me a bit to get back into shooting as I haven't been doing it for the last few years, but I think this rifle will be better once I get the Bravo stock for it and get more trigger time. Target was shot at 50 yards, 5 shot groups except for the one marked 10 shots.
I sighted in my Sako Quad with CCI Quiet ammo. 5 shot groups at 50 yards. I think it will get a little better once I get a few more down the pipe as it was cleaned before going out. The black squares are 1/2" on these targets so it should be minute of cat.

Mine arrived too! Couldn’t be happier. Now I just need to arrange some range time. Having 3 Tikkas in 3 calibers all outfitted almost the exact same way has been a long time project. Other than weight, length, mag shape and bolt throw the T1X is all that I hoped it would be.
