    Actually works out €1.50 dearer than here when VAT and shipping is included. Moderators are available here for €45 approx.

    You REALLY need a machine shop/gunsmith who knows what they are doing!This isnt a "Jert" the FAS apprentice job.anyway out your bullets will kiss off the can and keyhole ,at worst blow the can off the barrel.BTW some rifle ranges wont let you use the rifle and can unless it has been reproof marked.too many bad thread jobs to be safe.I would expect around 60E for an hours shop time.
    If somone wants to make a small fortune,Parker Hale back in the thirties offered a loverly little collet adaptor that fitted over your front sight and was snugged down on ithe sight.It then had the correct threads for the suppressor on the front.
    so its advantages were;
    no threading of the barrel,also no need for reproofing etc under the old UK firearms laws.
    It fitted to true when tightned properly
    this could be made up for a rake of different calibre weapons.
    anyone handy with a lathe?
