Gemtech Spacer for .22LR Longer Threaded Barrels – 1/2x28 Suppressor Alignment
Keep your suppressor safe and secure. The Gemtech Spacer for .22LR longer threaded barrels solves the common issue of extended thread length, ensuring your rimfire suppressor seats correctly and avoids dangerous baffle strikes. Precision-machined and built for 1/2x28 threaded barrels, this spacer guarantees proper alignment and flush mounting every time.
Product Overview
Some .22LR rifles and pistols come with threads longer than the rimfire industry standard. While this may not matter for other muzzle devices, it can prevent suppressors from seating properly, leading to gaps, misalignment, or even strikes inside the blast chamber.
The Gemtech Spacer corrects this issue by reducing excess thread length and creating a true shoulder for your suppressor. Compact, durable, and easy to install, it’s the simplest way to protect your gear and maintain accuracy.
