First Post, and an Open Ended Question

David-NY · 03-04-2015, 11:46 AM

When I bought the gun I anticipated replacing the barrel - so it's not actually bad news. After I left the shop I found myself wondering what that interrupted threading was actually for and whether it has any independent collector value -- it is definitely not some billy bob hack job. Unless there is some collector value that attaches to it, my plan is still just to replace the barrel and make a good shooter of it. To answer your question, the seller speculated that it was for attaching a suppressor - but the seller was just an FFL who had picked this up from a guy at a show a while back. Certainly the interruption of the threads indicates that the idea was to allow for quick attachment . . .
