.22Lr Barrel Threading

[RemyBolt 420]

I'm looking at getting a cute little .22lr, however, from what I can tell, it's an unthreaded barrel, and I'm looking at adding a moderator.

 

How simple is it to get a barrel threaded so that it can accept a moderator?

 

Any idea of costing would also be appreciated.

I assume you will loose any choke the barrel might have?

what a rimmy

I was considering having my 455 barrel shortened from 20" to 16". But it's choked and I'd worry about loosing accuracy. I could just buy a 16" barrel but I imagine there would be paperwork involved and it's not like I need it.

i have had 2 shortened and never noticed any difference in accuracy although i read somewhere muzzle velocity is reduced but again i have never noticed any difference, if it was important i think the gunsmith might have mentioned it as hes been a gun smith for over 50 years

Also, importantly, the muzzle end of the barrel is choked inside to ensure the best possible accuracy; even the 16in is choked and not just a shortened 20-in barrel.

you're no going to ring him and ask are you paulus

[Born Hunter 17,775]

Choking a rifle barrel may not make that much difference in your average rimfire hunting terms. But also the rifles you had shortened may not have been choked in the first place.

 

Just a niggling thought that would put me off.
