Threaded bbl on a Tikka T3 Tactical

[GunGuy34]

I got a Tikka T3 Tactical, it has a threaded barrel. Right now it has a Sako Muzzle brake on it. However, if i wish to take it off, where can i find a cap or something to screw on the gun to protect the threads? I mean a cap with a hole in it, so i can still shoot it, with the cap on it.

If you can't find one for sale, do you know anyone with a lathe?

Did you buy it new? It should have a factory thread protector.

My T-3 Tactical came with a threaded cover, which I had to loctite, to prevent it from coming loose.

You could contact beretta but they'll probably charge you an arm and a leg for a factory replacement. I did find this though:

I only wanted it as ano option, in case the brake pisses off everybody at the range.

Contact Stoeger Canada, they are the Tikka/Berretta dealer in Canada. Probably order a new one through them.
