1/2-28 thread cap ?
« on: August 12, 2009, 06:14:07 PM »
Does anyone make a 1/2-28 threaded cap to cover the threads on an AR-15 ? I know I could make something that would work but if someone already makes something that is Phosphate finished to match an AR Barrel it would save me from reinventing the wheel .

Lone Wolf has them. Black or silver, I think they are $14.00 or so...

I can probably find you a nut that will fit, unless you want to pay for a knurled piece of metal.
