Thread: threading odd muzzle

Bought a new 10/22 from gun city in 2011 which came with an internally threaded barrel and an adapter that screwed into it to attach a suppressor to. My experience with that particular rifle and that system was less than satisfactory. Whoever carried out the work didnt align the threading/adapter very well and it had a habit of shaving microscopic particles of lead of the projectiles as they passed through. It did however give good patterns at 50yds with a 10 shot group. I ended up tapering the inside of the adapter with a dremel at the action end of it which improved it some. Finding the right ammo also helped for some strange reason. Finally sold the rifle, scope, suppressor, sling, gun bag and 200 rounds of winchester subs to a guy that wanted a 'plinker' for his son to learn to shoot with at a greatly discounted price to help him out

All the above to say that if you are going to get it done, get a professional to do the threading is my view.........he can make the adapter at the same time.

(As an aside, I saw a second hand 10/22 in the same shop about 12mths ago.....checked the serial number and it was a very early model so I bought it and got it externally threaded.
Sighted in at 75m it gives me .5 inch 5 shot groups if i do my part.)
