• Made in the USA: Built by EGW in the United States, it reflects the company’s focus on machined firearm parts and accessories for shooters who want dependable fit and finish.
• Broad firearm compatibility: Suitable for pistols and rifles with 1/2 x 28 barrel threads, it offers a simple way to protect threads when a brake, flash hider or suppressor is not installed.

About the EGW Accessories Series

EGW Accessories covers a practical range of firearm parts built around everyday use, with a strong emphasis on protecting critical contact points and maintaining reliable fit. Within this series, barrel thread protectors are grouped with EGW’s AR, rifle and shotgun parts, reflecting the company’s focus on functional components rather than cosmetic add-ons. The lineup includes protectors in different thread pitches, with both inch-based and metric options, so shooters can match the part to the barrel correctly instead of relying on a generic substitute.

EGW also offers these protectors in carbon steel and stainless steel versions, giving users a choice between traditional blued carbon steel and the corrosion resistance of stainless construction. Across the series, the design goal is straightforward: protect barrel threads from impact, abrasion and contamination when a muzzle device is removed. That makes the series relevant for shooters who swap configurations, transport firearms frequently, or simply want to keep threaded muzzles in good condition between uses.

About the EGW Thread Protector 1/2x28

The EGW Thread Protector 1/2x28 is a simple but important accessory for any threaded-barrel firearm that is not always run with a muzzle device installed. Built for 1/2 x 28 threads, it fits one of the most common thread patterns used on rifles and many pistols, making it a practical choice for shooters who move between suppressed and unsuppressed setups or remove a brake or flash hider for transport, storage or maintenance.

This model uses a steel construction that gives the exposed muzzle threads a durable barrier against dents, scrapes and debris. In practical use, that matters because damaged threads can complicate the installation of suppressors, compensators and other muzzle accessories. Its .650" length and .800" outside diameter keep the profile compact, so it protects the threaded section without adding awkward bulk at the muzzle. The grey finish gives it a clean, understated appearance that suits a wide range of firearm builds.

Because it is intended for both pistols and rifles, this EGW accessory works well for shooters who want one straightforward solution for protecting threaded barrels across different platforms. Like other EGW firearm accessories, it focuses on correct fit and practical function, helping preserve the condition of the barrel when the threads are not in active use.
