[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1767958, member: 24284"] The "build up a shoulder" part had me going. Building up metals usually means welding on them to deposit more metal. You shouldn't weld on a barrel, CM or SS. There are all kinds of adapters that can be made, but IMO, your barrel is too small in diameter to be threaded to begin with. Others will certainly disagree, but .150" barrel wall thickness is what I consider minimum, and at most you might have .125" (or there abouts) thickness if your barrel is a .224" groove. Besides, hanging anything off the end of a "buggy whip" barrel is bound to have consequences. Someone else can have that work. Ya', I know, AR15 barrels are threaded 1/2-28.......... [/QUOTE]
