Thanks for that,barrel thickness didn't enter my mind,good to know.

The next rifle on my list to buy is a classic S400 sporter in .177,my question is this,are they available with a factory screwcut 1/2 unf moderator thread ? I am not keen on the grubscrew method of attaching a moderator as I feel it may mark the barrel ,thanks in advance.
