I don't think so - at least not for production work. I'd be willing to bet that making a fixture to mill the threads after machining the front sight would be much quicker, easier, and cheaper for large numbers of barrel extensions.

But for only occasional, small numbers, this is more efficient. IMO.

Edit: Indexing the tapping of the extension for the new barrel would be difficult. C96 is not like Luger which already has indexed extension, always in same position. I am not even sure as to how to index C96 extension so every one will be in same position relative to threaded replacement barrel...
