It was only 18.00 shipped
I haven't found! anyone willing to mill it
It's not that big of a deal to use a plate.
I read they hold up fine.

A local auction is coming up & I saw this
IMG_0954.jpeg

I thought it would be a decent one to put a muffler on. Then I looked them up to see what they are selling for. $$$$

There are several bolt action 22’s at the same auction that I am thinking that maybe I can buy one on the cheap & thread a barrel.

What is s the going rate for barrel threading in you fellas areas ?

We can’t play with cans but barrel threading is usually $150 here.
Price dependent it might just be cheaper to buy a new .22 with a threaded muzzle like a savage mk.2 then you don’t have to F with an older model where extra mags cost as much as the original rifle did

I have 3 semi auto 22’s that could be threaded but I want a bolt action to put a muffler on.
I am thinking a $50 - $75 older rifle will serve well. I may just get a single shot if they go for peanuts.

I can buy long guns at auction & don’t have to prick with the paperwork like on new purchases.

I picked up this very nice Glock 23 awhile back for $385.00 out the door. I've never been a fan of .40 factory loads but I figured I would see what I could do with reloads. Already have a mold, dies, and brass so why not. As expected, the throat on this barrel is pretty snug, I had to seat the Lee 175 grain slugs to 1.098 which is .020 shorter than what most data calls for. My aim is to produce something akin to a .38-40, so I'm not going anywhere close to max charge.

I tried 3.8 grains of Hodgdon HP-38 ,which is .4 below the starting charge for a 180 grain plated bullet. This load so far functions 100%, has excellent accuracy, and kicks out empties just a couple of feet away. The bore is amazingly clean, with no signs of leading at all. It clocks a very consistent 780 fps across my Chrono, which is about what I was aiming for. I think there might be more .40's in my future!
