The other day at work, while running and deburring some 200 valve coupling adapter parts and running thread gages through them, I had some time to think. The parts were threaded NPT (National Pipe Thread). I noticed that properly fitting pipe threads will get tight not just when they hit the shoulder as standard threads do, but as the thread size tapers. Properly sized pipe threads seem like they would add additional security to a muzzle attachment, especially in combination with something like a ratcheting nut system.
I'm not aware of any ever being tried on a firearm. Have they been? Is there a reason they haven't been, or something I'm missing that would make them unsuitable?
Just a dull point of curiosity I had during my shift the other night.
