Protecting the exposed threads of a rifle barrel is a simple step that preserves accuracy, prevents damage, and maintains fitment for muzzle devices or suppressors. The right thread protector is durable, precise, and sized to match your barrel specifications so it doesn’t introduce play or affect headspace alignment.

Precision Fit for .920 Barrels

This model is listed as THREAD PROTECTOR, RIFLE BARREL 1/2 28 .920 BLK — that tells you everything a gunsmith cares about up front. The 1/2-28 thread pitch is a common standard for many rifle applications, and the .920 dimension indicates the barrel shoulder or outside diameter it’s engineered to seat against. For rifles with a .920 barrel contour, this protector provides a snug, concentric fit that avoids wobble and preserves muzzle device alignment.

Materials, Finish, and Brand Reliability

Sold under the Banish brand and offered in model variations, this protector comes in a black finish (BLK) that resists corrosion and blends well with modern rifle aesthetics. At a price of $19.99, it’s an economical component for serious maintenance and long-term barrel care. The Category designation—Thread Protectors—keeps this part focused on protection rather than accessory function.

Installation and Tactical Considerations

Installing a 1/2-28 thread protector is straightforward: hand-start the protector on clean, undamaged threads, then snug it to seat evenly. Because the part is optimized for a .920 seating diameter, you should expect concentric alignment that minimizes any impact on point of aim when swapping muzzle devices later. For field users and range professionals, carrying a spare protector avoids exposing threads after device removal.
