Hi Guys,

I need some help identifying the correct thread size for my Tac15i,

Since the Customs here in Australia have seized my collapsible stock and the
mounding tube, I have decided to make my own, however for some reason I cant
ID the correct thread size in the back of the crossbow where the tube normally
screws in,

I tried asking PSE however I get no reply hmmmm?

If someone here already knows the thread size could you please let me know, thanks.

That most certainly is the same as the AR15 (semi-automatic rifle) buffer tube/stock thread size, since the Tac 15i stock design is based on that weapon. I found the following discussion on a home machinist forum that has a lot of information for you to go through, including a link to CAD drawings that should help:

Those that seem to know say the threads are 1 3/16 16TPI.

I know its crazy but here in Australia we have very firm gun laws
as such the customs realized the stock comes from an AR15 firearm
therefore a "prohibited item",

Good thing they let you keep the trigger assembly. That's straight off the AR design, too.

You know what? they tried to seize that too, but I had to convince them by writing many letters and send photos,
to show that there is no way the trigger can be modify and adopted to make a fully functioning fire arm, I nearly gave up in the end, but it was worth it in the end.

The word anal does come to mind. So if you got a part shipped to you by mail they examine or open the package? That is crazy as heck.

because he lives in Australia. While we are lucky (so far) there are those hard at work to make this country's gun "control" as equally assinine and intrusive on law abiding citizens. Enjoy it while you can.......and vote.........while you can.

Cyclone, good luck with your efforts. :)
