Threaded barrels

Can someone please let me know which .22LR pistols or carbines have threaded barrels and are they threaded 1/2x28? I have an AAC M4-2000 mod 7 that is unreal on my 10/22. I am hoping I can buy a Calico and get the same results.

Thanks,
Dan

I don't think any of them are threaded stock, but there a several places like adco that will do threading services .

Hope that helps!

Do you have any experience with threaded barrels for the Calico rifles? I have a .22lr Sporter with the keyhole wooden stock and I want to have the barrel threaded. My concern is whether the barrel is thick enough to take a 1/2 x 28 thread pattern.

Any info on that?

Thanks in advance.

Ok, so no one responded and no one else seems to be on this board, so maybe this falls into the category of events like whether trees make a noise when they fall in the woods and no one is there......

So, what I did was:

removed the barrel
threaded the barrel to 3/8 - 24
purchased a Gemtech 3/8 - 24 to 1/2 - 28 adapter (around $50.)
cut the flash hider off just in front of the roll pin hole
polished the cut marks smooth and painted it black
purchased a DPMS 3 Prong flash hider (around $8.)

I shot the gun with my suppressor and it ran great and ran quietly provided the ammo was subsonic.
