Volquartsen will thread and crown the barrel on my Ruger Mark III for
$65 and move the front sight cut back on the barrel for an additional
$30. That's the best price I've found and with a reputable company.
Turnaround time is 10 to 14 days...

I bought the silencer to attach to my AR 15/22, which already has a
threaded barrel, but it would be nice to use it on a pistol, too.

Why? :)

I have a couple of friends who like to shoot but are overly sensitive to
the noise. Muffs and plugs don't seem to help them, but a "silenced" gun
in .22LR would be fine. I am considerate of my friends.

If you bought a decent can, it will sound like a CO2 pellet gun. I
have even seen home made suppressor that worked that well. (PVC pipe,
a little screen and bottle caps).

I've heard the model I bought...a local gunsmith has one and we were out
at a local range together. With standard or subsonic velocity ammo which
doesn't break the sound barrier out of a pistol, I heard the action of
the gun and the clink of the target gong. I've seen vids of the .22LR
rifles with silencers, and other than the cycling noises, they seem
silent at the gun end.
