Re: Measuring barrel thread...
Buy a cheap thread gauge, looks like a feeler gauge except each blade has a thread pitch cut in it.

Re: Measuring barrel thread...
^^ That's the most accurate method, mixing 9/16 NF against 14X1 may cause a bit of tail chasing.
Adendorf if you have one near enough.

Re: Measuring barrel thread...
If you want a muzzle break, you don't need any expensive stuff. Just whack it with something heavy. Eventually it will break...
For adding a brake, you may need a proper thread.
Some indication of the origin of the thread may help quite a bit to narrow down the options. Most factory threaded barrels have known thread specs. If it was added later, a thread pitch guage is the best tool for the job.

Re: Measuring barrel thread...
It was aftermarket cut, I'll go get a measuring tool at Adendorf.
