T8 Moderator Question...

This may be a very silly question, how can I tell what thread size my T8 is? Its on a Tikka T3 so I would assume M14, but the gun had a previous owner so I don't know if it is factory threaded?

Cheers!
 
It usually states on the nylon bush at the rear of the moderator, ie 1/2 or 5/8 etc.

Or at least thats the case on the past 4 T8's ive owned any way.
 
At the base it says it says T8, AU, F, 13? The threads are stainless as it's the stainless barrel.
 
have you a pair of verniers?

measure the outer of the threads on the rifle. 14mm is 14x1. 1/2 unf will be 12.7mm
 
You need to measure as they have changed the marking system frequently on T8's

Usually F indicates a 1/2" UNF no spigot thread
