Stratts Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Just wondering if a .22 WMR barrel can be cut down and threaded for a mod easily. Been to look at a rifle that has had the iron sight sleeve removed and the barrel is quite long anyway for shooting off a quad or out of a vehicle.

JJsDad Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 It is if you have a lathe with a screw cutting facility and know how to use it. If not, I would suggest a decent Gunsmith. If you invest in a cheapy job, and the bore of the silencer is not concentric to the bore axis of the rifle you are looking at a round through the side of it or worse. Try Elderkin & Son (Spalding) on 01775-722919. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) They are no harder or easier than most barrels.......... This CZ American WMR had 3" taken off and then threaded, then went off the Dennis at UK Gun Repairs for a little more work!

kyska Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Stratts, do you need a shortened rifle for a quad? Does it have windows? Seriously, elderkins are very good, I've got your PM re ammo...gonna get prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratts Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Nah mate lol it'd just be easier to handle and it needs cutting coz of this where matey took the sight off The CZ 452 was left at the rfd 5 years ago but they don't have a number for the fella so I gotta knock on his door to make an offer, lol!! The barrel inside is a bit grubby but nowt major and the rest is in very good condition I'll give Elderkins a buzz they're not far from me, Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratts Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Tried them and it's something they would have to send away and didn't seem overly bothered about doing it RFD where it's at said 60 quid to cut, thread and re-crown which doesn't sound too bad to me anyway. What do you think? Edited October 31, 2011 by Stratts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
