Thread direction and type are essential when purchasing barrel adapters and extensions because they determine compatibility with your airsoft replica and accessories like suppressors or flash hiders. The most common thread types are clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW), with CCW being especially popular in airsoft. Having adapters that convert between CW and CCW, such as the Madbull - Airsoft Barrel Extension Adapter (CW to CCW), provides flexibility to use a wider variety of attachments. Other products, like the Echo1 - 3 Piece Barrel Extension Set (CCW/V2), cater specifically to CCW setups. There is a wide selection of adapters and extensions with various thread types, ensuring you can find the right fit for your build.
