Depends how you want it done.

Tornado Technologies takes the barrel you currently have, and adds a little more then threads that part. Looks like it runs $175 + shipping. Please note that unless you've got two barrels, this work will leave you FsN-less for a few weeks. Here is a link to the most recent TT post viewtopic.php?f=17&t=8501" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Your other route would be Jarvis. They make an entirely new barrel for you, although with this comes with the chance that it will be out of spec and quite a long wait. The nice thing is, you can still shoot your FsN while you wait for your new threaded barrel! Looks like these run you $355 + shipping +$20 for a thread protector. Here is a link to their site http://www.jarvis-custom.com/Products/t ... fault.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I have zero experience with either barrel. Using the forums nifty search function for either "Tornado" or "Jarvis" barrels may bring up some more results, who knows. Anyway, welcome to the forum, and I hope this helps a bit.

Hi All,

Need to know if anybody has used A-2 birdcage 1/2x28mm adapter from SWR ? These allow you to use an A-2 birdcage type flash hider to attach suppressor so you can go from M4 to Five-seven weapons.

I know you cant with the pistol since it is threaded 10mmX1 since the 1/2x28mm wont work. I dont know about the PS90 or AR57 though.

Contrary to popular belief, you CAN fix stupid - it's just illegal.

Not yet, Goldie said it would be a week or two (that was over a week ago). They are also milling a SS Thread Protector for savage .17 hmr with blue 20" barrel. LOL

And the Spectre Cans should be in within the next two weeks!!

P.S. Did you know that if you are active/retired military they will ship for free, just send them a copy of your credentials.

Are you referring to Spectre cans that you have on order or to a batch of Spectres in general?

I ask because I put one on order two ago and i'm wondering if i'm still waiting for them to make a new batch.
