threading a barrel

[saders]

I would you be alowed to thread the outside of your barrel in canada. Or is it illegal to this.I want to put a fake can on my 22 that i can screw on rather then finding a way of keeeping it straight without threads

You can thread the barrel from one end to the other.

what would be the best thread to put on a 14 millimeter external diameter barrel

 

[tiriaq]

I don't do metric threads.
But 14mm is .551". Too small for a 9/16 thread (.5625"). 1/2" would work. 1/2-28 is a very common thread for attachments.

 

[savagelh]

1/2 x 28 is the thread you want

so would i have to taper the barrel done or with it be fine just to thread onto it. Btw the gun is a mossberg 22 tactical might let yall know more then me lol

I would suggest sending it to a competent machinist or gunsmith. Google is your friend in finding some place close.

i know a few gunsmiths that are very good in newfoundland and one of my teachers is a machinets and we have a whole wing of machinest next to the welding wing of the school which is what i am doing. douth ill find one thou

If you can remove the barrel from the rifle, it may be smart just to ship it to someone.

 

[saders]

i don't think the barrel can be removed ill probley just bring it to one of the gunsmiths i deal with.

Saders...
This is a stock Ruger 10/22 barrel I had threaded 1/2 - 28 / .400" deep
This is most likely what you want done to yours.

Getting my SR-22 threaded soon. My friend is a machinist and has done lots of that sort of thing. 1/2 -28 if what to have.

 

[saders]

i decided that i will just use setting screws as there ant no kick in a 22.Will probley have it tomorow if the machinest department will do it up for me makeing the supperorss cover 2 inches of the barrel and 4 in over. 1.50" aluminum round stock with with a 2" deep hole then reduced down from there so the barrel stays at 2" deep. Wish me luck

You might want to re measure. I made a slip on brake for my air rifle with a 15mm barrel. Hole was drilled with a 15mm drill, so it was probably a couple thou oversize. Tried it on my dads tac 22 and it was too small, slight interference fit. Would have had to hammer it on.

 

[saders]

i did it with a calibers i don't remenber the size right now its like 15.79mm w/e that = in inches idk can't remenber.

 

[saders]

0.620 inches or 15.75 mm which ever math system you want

Not sure if they ship to Canuckistan but you can shot them an email and ask. Everything you would need can be had for less then $100 shipped so any sort of restrictions would not apply.
