anyone know from experience whether the mp15-22 can be threaded 1/2-28? I'm hoping to have it threaded and an adapter made for my 7.62 can.

Re: Smith & Wesson MP15-22 threading
I thought it looked large enough diameter to have a decent shoulder on there.
.668" - .4574" (thread minor dia) = .2106 / 2 = .1053" shoulder
Not much, but should be satisfactory for a 22lr
Guess that may be the reason colt threaded theirs to M8 (~5/16")

1/2"-28 or smaller threads?

The Colt is a 2 piece barrel, outer tube with a Lothar Walther rifeled liner. I should have adaptors for them in about 2 weeks(I hope)...

Re: Smith & Wesson MP15-22 threading
Not a problem. Do it all the time. Had to make a wrench to get the forearm off and barrel out. After that it is just like any other barrel.

Re: Smith & Wesson MP15-22 threading
So what about 5/8-24 threads on this barrel?
I know its probably not "recommended", since there would barely be a shoulder for the suppressor to seat against. But this isnt a high powered rifle were talking about. Id just love to not have to pay the extra $ for an adapter.
There is defintely enough meat there for the actual threads.

Re: Smith & Wesson MP15-22 threading
Yeah I ended up making a similar tool, I just welded a 3/4" Nut on the end of it so it slipped over the barrel.
Adco did an excellent job threading, Im very impressed with their work for a very cheap $65 for threading and the A2 hider. They were a little pricey on the adapter so I decided to order from:
www.tornadotechnologies.com
Their 1/2-28 to 5/8-24 adapter for $36 is every bit as nice as ADCO's threading I was also very impressed.
Heres the finished results.

Even with the 30cal can Im extremely impressed. At first I didnt think so shooting it, but today I got to hear it from 30 feet away to the side and I was amazed.
Full power rounds you can very clearly tell that there is almost NO muzzle blast, all you hear is the SS crack downrange.
Subsonic rounds, literally all you hear is the bolt carrier smacking the barrel face...which is somewhat loud, but from more than 100ft away you would not even know a gun was being fired.
I shot about 150rds of full power through the can outside my house today, and no one inside had any idea I was shooting.
I really wish there was a way to lock the bolt closed for single round shots.

Re: Smith & Wesson MP15-22 threading
Yeah, with your jaw right on the stock, the mechanical noise of the gun is loud to the shooter. Even inches away, it's much quieter.
