Hello all,

I currently have a threaded adapter installed on my Airforce Condor air rifle for an accessory, can't remember what the thread pitch was but probably 1/2x28? Anyway, was wondering if anyone here had their air rifle barrel threaded and by whom? Am contemplating having this done instead of using the adapter because the accuracy suffers a bit being that the thread is not concentric with bore. the barrel is Lothar Walther and looks to have enough "meat" on the barrel for this. Thanks.

If the barrel can be removed from the rifle and put in a lathe, then any machinist should be able to thread it.

Yeah the barrel can be removed no problem, as shown here:

Hopefully the centering blocks won't impede the lathe...

Steve123, do you have contact info or website of Mac1? Thanks. Never mind, just found their site...
