John,

As the others have posted, the short answer is no.

FYI, a somewhat longer answer is (based on reference material that I have) the barrel thread for 1st generation SAAs (ser. nos. 1-357,859) is 0.695-20 tpi; for 2nd generation SAAs(ser. nos. 0001SA-73319SA) it is also 0.695-20 tpi. The 2nd generation barrels did have different bore and groove dimensions as well as exterior markings. 3rd generation SAAs (ser. no. 80,000SA and up, SA01001 and up, and S02001A and up) have 0.695"-24 tpi barrel threads.

Hope the extra information is of interest.

Paul
