Stalon mod thread change?

[Beretta shooter]

Evening folks, was wondering if anyone has managed to purchase a new boss to change the threading on a Stalon moderator?
I have a XE149 that I’m looking to use on a different rifle but after an email to Stalon and another to GMK followed but a couple of calls to rfds that sell Stalon mods I’m no further forward…… any help would be appreciated

Don't think they're commercially available, you could have one made but It'd probably cost more than buying another mod...

Yes they have them on there site I paid £12 for 18x1 to 1/2

A bit late for you but, for what it’s worth, there are suitable replacement lugs out there to enable you to match your muzzle thread to the moderator. Zarimex, in Bulgaria, have a vast range of brand specific lugs for every muzzle thread known. The postage doubles the 20 euro price tag. Dauntsey guns advertise some at £25. With Stalons, I think the basic thread is M18x1 and you remove whatever insert is there and replace it with the appropriate reduction lug. 18x1 outer having a 14x1 or 15x1 inner thread, for example.
GMK, to their credit, are willing to take existing Stalons in for modification.
Irritating that Sako seem to have changed their standard muzzle thread on the 90 to 15x1 from 14x1 on previous models. Hence my internet searches.

That's a thing I never knew - THANKS @DocJohn

I did say that I think the basic thread is 18x1. When I get a reducing lug (currently on order) I’ll post the results.

Did you ever have any luck this mate?

I’ve got a 1/2x 28 Stalon and want to change it to 18x1…

Cheers

Sorry guys should have updated this, sent the mod back to GMK via my RFD and they changed the union to change the thread.

Awesome thank you - Much appreciated for getting back to me.

Update: Having bought the appropriate Stalon lug I tried to remove the 14x1 unit. It wouldn’t budge and I don’t want to wreck the whole thing. What are GMK charging?

Zarimex adapters

Much cheaper than the French company I've repeatedly used: Find the suppressor adapter you need

Dauntsey adapters are quality items too.

I wasn’t charged in the end or a cost wasn’t passed onto me but I was buying a new rifle at the time so may have been a good will or the supplying RFD didn’t pass on the charge. Either way I smiled, thanked them, took the mod and ran
