I'm sure you know this but DO NOT shoot it like that. I know an individual that had a similar problem with a suppressor and shot it anyway. Didn't end well.
How wide is the gap? If it's not more than a few thousandths peel washers would be a band-aid fix that would work as bigbear suggested. Another option is to have a gunsmith or machinist shorten the threaded portion of your barrel and re-cut the crown. However, if you were going to go that route I would just have it cut it back and re-threaded to 5/8-24. This what I did with my Satern barrel. If you don't want to have barrel cut on then you need to find an adapter with deeper threads on the 9/16-24 female side.
BTW- Where in central Texas are you located?
