I am hoping to buy a SR-22 and I have heard that they do not come with threaded barrels in Canada. I wanted the threaded barrel so I could have a suppressor on the end which makes it look so much better. Now, what is your advice? Are there good suppressors I can mount over the barrel or what are the cons if I'm going that route? Or anyone can suggest a good gunsmith that could thread it for me? As U can see, I am very new to this.
-Thanks

First thing you should do is a little reading
start here http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1191038
Next thing you should do is move to the US if you want a suppressor(or the UK or NZ)
 
As far as I am aware you will end up in handcuffs and leg irons if you pursue this , they are prohibited in canada , so you may as well install brass knuckles on the forearm , nunuchuks on the buttstock and maybe a cpl magnetized throwing stars on the rail? same amount of time for the crime?lol

Hopefully I am wrong but I think I am right , because darn.....i got an sr22 in my safe that I would love to do it to!

Most gunsmiths should be able to thread the barrel for you, but you may be better off just buying a new barrel that is pre-threaded. Dlask would be a good choice ;):D They sell barrels that are threaded 1/2x28.

As for the suppressor, don't get caught using it or like the others mentioned, you'll wind up in cuffs and earning a new BFF named Ben Dover.

But you can get a fake can/suppressor for it just for looks and that would be your best option :cool:

The primary con to this is sound supressors are prohibited devices. There seems to be some confusion with your terminology, are you talking about a sound supressor/silencer, or a flash supressor/hider? I hope you are refering to the latter.

If you are indeed talking about a flash supressor, then go nuts. You are within the law.

Here in Canada? So far I have heard that the threaded barrel is only sold in the US. We get the SR-22RSC (model 1236), last I checked.

And yes, I was referring to a muzzle brake. Basically for looks.
They are legal, and flash hiders are not, or?
And I was not talking about a sound suppressor(silencer)
 
Ah, Juster. I was only trying to make it clear what I was referring to, for I have had a lot of comments on my wording/terminology on this matter. So I was mostly correcting myself there. I'm so glad that you took it so well.
