Working on trimming my XM177 I'd like to clean the thead sections on the barrel parts properly and I am concidering making custom parts. For these purposes does anyone know alle detail on the thread. ? Looking at metal flash hiders I assume its M14 standard RH but whats the pitch ? Is it M14x1 or ?

Yes
"real" M16/AR15 are ½¨x 28tpi
I managed to find my (well hidded) pitch gauge so now I am pretty sure the Marushin
Modelgun M16 & XM177 are M14x1

It would certainly be reasonable to expect a Japanese made model to have metric threads and everything made to metric dimensions rather than the Imperial system.
