About 3 months ago I saw an article about threading model 41’s for suppressor use.
Accurate Ordnance - Threading the Smith Model 41
I sent my PC 41 to Accurate Ordnance to have the barrel threaded a few weeks ago. I got it back yesterday.
It’s a difficult barrel to thread as the entire unit is squared off and simply machining the end down to threads would look terrible. They bore the end of the barrel and turn threads inside for an adapter.
Here is the finished product.

Am a big fan of that gun and think it looks awesome!

wow…finally got an option instead of the elusive bully barrel!!
any before and after accuracy thoughts?? Do I understand they are threading and recrowning from the bore?? How much meat came off??
WOW, that looks great! Looks like it should have been on there from the factory. It looks like they did a nice job for you, congrats!
Accuracy hasn’t changed.
No metal came off the outside of the barrel. They bore approximately 1/2" deep into the barrel and cut internal threads for the adapter to screw into. There’s plenty of metal left around the adapter for support. There would be even more on the standard barrel model.

Mike, that is one really sharp looking pistol. Thanks for posting the pictures for us to enjoy.
How does it shoot with and without the suppressor?
I have been pondering something like what you have, a highly-accurate suppressed .22. It would be a great deal of fun to practice with.
Stamps should be back late this month.
I’ll have some comparisons then.
Thank you, I will look forward to it.
Went and played with one of the cans today. Unfortunately nothing concrete, however I could not detect any POI shift at all from unsuppressed to suppressed.
