Oops - check again. Sometimes I'm too clever for my own good... it should be there now...

Nothing in the inbo or junk mail folder.

I have no idea why the 39M does stabilize them. That (reply)

is a 1-16" twist as well.

It was sure tight enough to make you reconsider "threads". (reply)

Ha! You learn something new every day... (reply)

I was under the impression they were pressed in originally. Threaded makes it easier to work on for certain.

I'd like one just like it...Working ion the Trust thing... (reply)

Thanks, Hobie - always thought the SSS ammo was (reply)

a good idea, but it seems to be a lucky chance to find a gun that will stabilize them at 1-16". So I made one with a 1-9".

Will report back as I'm able to test.

That is SO cooooool! (reply)

I like it. Great concept and execution.

The 60 gr. Aguila is very interesting ammo. I ran through several boxes trying it in all my .22s and found that it would only stabilize in my 1956 Marlin 39Mountie. I used a Hanned tool on some rounds and felt it was pretty darn effective with that flat point AND greater weight.

Thanks, Mark! The barrels are threaded, not pressed. (reply)

John K. — Fri, 21 Feb 2014 16:34:53 +0000

HEAVILY torqued. Since this barrel was ruined anyway, it was easier to just turn off the torque shoulder in the lathe and unscrew it by hand afterwards.

Receiver nominal dimensions are 1" OD and .750" ID. The somewhat crude barrel threads measured around .805" x 20tpi.

Nice work there John... (reply)

Mark Stevenson — Fri, 21 Feb 2014 15:58:11 +0000

That's a great use for a beater Standard model.

I take it you pressed the new barrel into the receiver as per original?
If so, what was the interference fit number?
Freeze/heat the parts to make installation easier?

You really do nice work.

I need to move to a suppressor friendly state. (reply)

MA - ouch. Definitely behind enemy lines.

I have always wanted a silencer but where I am at they are verbotten

Silencer Talk is an excellent resource (reply)

I've been reading on their silencer smithing forum for years! Lots of interesting ideas and plenty of experience.

I was trying to think of some way to lighten it all up, but like you said, I doubt it will be too bad with an integral. My SAS can is pretty heavy, so with it on the pistol, it's noticeably front heavy. It is built to withstand basically any .30 cal round, and full auto, so it's a bit on the hefty side!

Back to silencer talk, I've tried to sign up before, but they won't accept a hotmail address for registration. I've had my email for about fifteen plus years, but they still look at it Asa. Throw away email. I've tried to email somebody on the sight to see about registering, but to no luck. I rarely have anything to add, but it would be nice to post on There occasionally.

Excellent work. That is a nice looking pistol. (reply)

I have studied a lot of baffle designs there. Some of the Form 1 builds are quite interesting.

Expect you are right on the freeze plug baffle working just fine; the only drawback compared to a commercial can might be weight. In a shorter integral you might not even notice the difference.

Can't make up my mind on my Noveske 300BLK upper. Probably clipped cones, eventually.
