Hi Fellas is there anyone one here that could make a barrel adaptor female 1/2 UNF one end and male 1/2 UNF other end i have a peace of 16mm stainless steel bar coming to make it from asking as my barrel is a little short to fit a flat end Silencer cheers Fellas ATB .

Anyone with a Lathe should do Just Fine!!
You what both thread ends concentric..
Also make the bore larger than the caliber of you barrel...030" to .050"

Good Luck,
Stuart

one end needs to be female to screw on me barrel the other side male for new silencer i have a lathe but only do basic things with it when i use it that is  lol I no engineer so cutting threads is not my thing ATB Buddy  :)  ;)

Well if you already have a lathe...Can it cut threads??
If it can, you are 3/4 of the way there!!
Just some tooling and a little practice.... I guarantee this skill will used a lot!!!
You don't want to use Tap and Die for this job!
They are OK or cleaning up old threads....

Don't need to be an Engineer to do single point threading...
Look at KevG, If can do it with the Rabid Fox as a supervisor....
Anyone can do it!!!
