[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1484311, member: 4191"] Not a gunsmith, but I would thread it over 1/2" length with 5/8-24. Seal threads with the weaker loctite (purple), and run it. These threads aren't under any heavy load. They just need to be sufficient to mount the suppressor or adaptor concentric with the bore, hold it tight under light to moderate torque, and seal off gases. Your barrel threads should be more than adequate. Barrel steel is soft. Should be easy to cut threads in a lathe. Even skipping across the fluting cups. FYI, I've never run a lathe in my life. But I've watched a bit... :confused: I used blue loctite on one of my brakes one time. Too difficult to unthread! Never again for me. Only low strength purple from now on. Well, let's see what the gunsmith's have to say about it... I'm just trying to get one of them revved up.:) [/QUOTE]
