Trouble with threads on new bbl

So I’ve been bitten by the .22 bug, ouch it’s expensive.

I am waiting on iorn sights for my new upper.

I can not thread the OutbackII can on to The new bbl. I emailed the manufacturer yesterday. I am sure I will hear back soon. Just wanted to know if you guys had a fix. I threaded an AAC FH on and off with no issues several times, still no go on the can. Then I put it on two more guns,mtried again and back on the other two guns. I took the photos today n

The can fits on my 45/22 and my son’s 15-22. I just double checked. An AAC FH fits on the bbl but not the can. Here are some photos.

AAC FH threads all the way on

Clint called me today on my cell around 3 pm. We spoke for a while and he suggested I try threading it on with some oil. I tried grease earlier. I am impressed with him for calling so quickly, on a weekend. He said if it didn’t work, which I hope it does, he would swap it out.

Cool…

But, mind if I ask how you managed to get a can your side of the river…?

It belongs to the PD, upper is mine.
