First Post, and an Open Ended Question

The interrupted/half threads are the same system the Ithaca Model 37 uses to attach barrels. I think this would work the same way for mounting a suppressor, and the body of the unit would bottom on the flange remaining behind the threads--1/4 twist, and it would be snug.

The problem with that is that barrels are then locked down, either via a detent or by the mag tube end cap. This system does not provide near enough torque to safely install a suppressor. Swirling gases and bullet spin will eventually work an improperly torqued down can right off the muzzle.

I'm just not seeing this as a practicable suppressor adaptation, unless it was for Hollywood.
