I think that would work for my Mark II with bull barrel and probably the Marlin 880. But is there such a thing as internal threading? The P90 and and Kahr CW9 don't have an extended barrel, so unless it could be done internally, I don't see any options there. There's a chance I might be able to find one for my wife's Sig.
Depending on the gun, (sentimentality) and the cost of 'smithing, it may be easier to sell the old, and buy new. More and more manufacturers have threaded barrel versions of their products.
That has a lot to do with fitting. Say a 1911 is mostly drop in, but is still going to require hand fitting unless that specific barrel maker makes it for a "springfield 1911" Because there are 50 bajillion 1911 makers, nothing is going to be truly "drop in". Where as a glock 19 is so standardized you can easily make a drop in for it that will 100% function with no problems.I've been researching getting a suppressor for some of the handguns. What I've learned is I should have been thinking about that 20+ years ago before I bought the guns. Seems threaded barrels are not really available aftermarket unless you bought very specific brands or models. I'd really like to get a couple of suppressors, but gets awful expensive when you're also replacing the guns as well.
No they can't. On a rifle sure. But a pistol no. There is nothing sticking past the slide to thread in 99.9999999% of cases.
What sig? There is an aftermarket option for most of them I can point you in the right way.
Correct, assumed we were discussing longguns.....
Yes you are correct, I have verified I have to make a comment. That was the point of my comment.
The Sig would be Dirt_Mom's P230SL. I'm guessing I could find a threaded for that. And the MKII in your photo is the exactly what I have with a bull barrel, that I figured could be cut down by gunsmith.
Honest opinion I wouldn't bother with the 230. There are threaded barrels available, but they cost at minimum $250 (low demand/low production) I would say buy a new gun in this case.
Just curious are semi auto shotguns treated differently there than an over under or pump guns? I know in some of Europe its "easy" to get a over under as a sporting gun, but a semi auto would require a higher category license.
Completely ignorant about Form 1 stuff. Will need to look into that one.
Zero chance of the "Hearing Protection Act" (aka over the counter suppressors) ever getting passed now.
Form 1 is basically a one time license to build a suppressor or SBR/SBS. There is a ton of aftermarket support for them these days. For a rifle suppressor built well (Titanium and steel) you are looking around $300 to make a pistol can around $400. Diversified Machine and others make kits. DM is kind shy about how he posts the kits. If it is listed as a kit it includes the baffles and spacers, But he does not show the baffles because he doesn't want to get into it with the ATF.
I don't have a drill press, but I could probably come up with $70 and a way to get to Harbor Freight if that's really all it takes to build one.
Stay away from those Harbor Freight drill presses!! I have one and it is so under powered you can stall it in soft wood. POS
Yep literally a drill press or stop by any machine shop and ask them to drill you a few holes. The baffles come pre spotted,so you don't even need to find center. A $20 drill press vise will also help quite a lot in the job.
I have a small mill. I'm in Chesapeake, you are welcome to run down and use it.
