I made the 264 barrels I produced with a 5/8-24 muzzle thread so people buying them would have more choices in flash hiders. I used the .125 recess because there is more material backing the lugs and a 7.62x39 bolt and extractors can be used in a pinch. We don't get very many calls about broken extractors. As long as the rifle isn't over-gassed there isn't much stress on the extractors... I don't make ANY carbine gas barrels not even the 12.5" barrels.
