They used 2 different sizes on them,some of them have 16mm x 1.5 threads and some have 5/8th x 18, the pitch is very close and they both have the same bore hole size so it is just possible that they are interchangeable but I always use the correct thread when I make something for them, all the best, Neil.
9mm Recluse is 5/8 UNF .45 cal Light Hunter 3/8 NPS non standard 50 cal 3/8 NPS Standard
3/8 nps thread male is 16.6mm or .650 inch and the female is 14.7mm or .580 inch . A .50 cal is 12.7mm a.45 cal is 11.43 mm and 9mm is .354 cal so Im not quite sure where you are getting that a 3/8 nps thread is to small

I wonder what would make them use different threads (?), that seems odd to me, but you are the man who would know ! Thanks for the info.

I kind of figured something was wacky and I see what you are saying now. It's been awhile for me. And I was not thinking about the whole concept. Yes the barrel is on a 45 is 5/8 in diameter but threaded to 3/8. I kept thinking about that when you Facebook messaged me the other day. Sorry but my little brain just isn't thinking to clearly. Any idea where a guy could get an adapter to make it standard thread.
I hate to dig this up, but figured more information in 1 thread than several different ones... Anyone know how i can distinguish between the 2 threads. Neil tells me there are several, but I'm getting wonky measurements.15.41MM / .607" diameter1.16mm / .045" thread
