Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

If you run a suppressor, muzzle brake, or other threaded device on your rifle, keeping a thread protector handy is just smart maintenance. The Backup Tactical Frag covers your muzzle threads when those devices come off, protecting them from the small impacts and debris that can wreck a precision-cut crown. Even minor damage can cause alignment issues later. This one is built from aircraft-grade aluminum and machined for a snug, wobble-free fit on 1/2×28 threads—standard on most .223 and 5.56 rifles.
Backup Tactical didn't stop at function. The Frag pattern gives your rifle a finished look that actually stands out. It's aggressive enough to look intentional without being over the top. Black anodized finish pairs well with any setup, and the pattern itself provides subtle texture that makes the piece feel purposeful rather than like an afterthought. You get protection that doesn't look like you just grabbed whatever was sitting on a shelf.
CNC machining keeps the weight down while maintaining durability. The knurled surface makes hand-installation and removal simple—no tools needed. The compact profile won't add unnecessary bulk to the end of your barrel. Whether you're storing your rifle for the season or just swapping devices at the range, this protector tucks on and off without fuss.
Aluminum alloy construction balances strength with minimal weight. The precision machining ensures your threads won't get cross-threaded during installation, and the fit is tight enough that it stays put during handling and transport. This is the kind of part that works quietly in the background and does exactly what it's supposed to do, every single time.
Most modern .223 and 5.56 AR-15 platforms use 1/2×28 right-hand threads, which is what this Frag protector is designed for. Check your barrel's specs or manufacturer documentation to be certain, but 1/2×28 is by far the most common. Once you have the right thread pitch, installation is just hand-tight—no tools needed.
Not at all. The thread protector is only installed when a muzzle device isn't attached, so it has no effect on how your rifle performs during firing. It's purely protective during storage and transport.
Simply screw it onto your barrel threads by hand—the knurled surface gives you grip without needing any tools. When you're ready to swap in a muzzle device, it comes off just as easily. The precision fit means it sits securely without spinning or coming loose during handling.
The Frag pattern serves both function and aesthetics. It provides subtle texture that gives the protector more grip and makes installation easier, while also giving your rifle a finished, intentional appearance. Beyond that, it performs exactly like any quality thread protector—it keeps your threads safe from impact and debris.
