Protect your rifle’s muzzle threads in style with the Timber Creek Outdoors Thread Protector Black Billet Aluminum 5/8"x24 (5/824TPBLC). Designed for .30-cal and 5/8x24-threaded barrels, this lightweight yet rugged thread protector shields your muzzle threads when you’re not running a muzzle brake, compensator, or suppressor—helping you avoid costly damage while giving your rifle a clean, finished look.
Protects 5/8x24 Muzzle Threads from Damage
If you ever remove your muzzle device—for cleaning, transport, hunting in non-brake-friendly areas, or just to change setups—your exposed threads are vulnerable to:
Dings and cross-threading
Impact damage while in the safe, truck, or case
Corrosion and fouling buildup
The Timber Creek thread protector:
Covers and shields 5/8x24 threads on AR-10s, .308 rifles, 6.5 Creedmoor rigs, and other compatible setups
Helps maintain clean, crisp threads so devices reinstall smoothly
Reduces the risk of expensive barrel or gunsmithing repairs
This small accessory can save you from big headaches later.
Lightweight Billet Aluminum Construction
Timber Creek Outdoors machines this protector from billet aluminum, offering an ideal mix of strength and light weight:
Strong enough to defend threads from routine bumps and scrapes
Extremely lightweight, so it won’t upset your rifle’s balance or add noticeable weight to the muzzle
Aluminum is naturally corrosion-resistant, especially with a quality finish
For hunters and competition shooters mindful of muzzle weight, billet aluminum is a smart choice over heavier steel.
Sleek Black Finish for a Clean, Tactical Look
This model features a black anodized-style finish (or comparable durable coating), giving the protector a low-profile, tactical appearance that blends with most barrels and handguards:
Matches well with black nitride, phosphate, and anodized components
Reduces glare and visual distraction at the muzzle
Gives an otherwise “unfinished” barrel a professional, completed look when no brake or suppressor is installed
A thread protector might be small, but it’s front and center on your rifle—this one keeps things looking sharp.
Easy On / Easy Off – Simple Installation
The Timber Creek 5/824TPBLC is designed for everyday practicality:
Standard 5/8x24 TPI threads make it a drop-on fit for any properly threaded 5/8x24 muzzle
Installs by hand—just thread it on until snug (a small bit of blue thread locker is optional if you want additional security)
Easy to remove when you’re ready to install a muzzle brake, flash hider, or suppressor mount
No special tools are required for routine installation and removal—perfect for switching between suppressed and unsuppressed setups.
Ideal for a Wide Range of Rifles
With its 5/8x24 thread pitch, this Timber Creek Outdoors thread protector is an ideal match for many popular platforms and calibers, including (where appropriately threaded):
.308 Win / 7.62 NATO rifles
6.5 Creedmoor and other 6.5mm precision builds
.300 Blackout rifles with 5/8x24 threads
AR-10 pattern rifles and many modern sporting rifles in larger calibers
Any rifle barrel correctly threaded 5/8x24 can benefit from a dedicated, purpose-built protector like this one.
