It would decrease the value to a collector but to the average person wanting a shooter I don't think it would matter much if the barrel threading was done right. If you don't plan on selling the gun I wouldn't worry about resale value and thread the barrel.
What kind of Marlin is it, if it's a common model I wouldn't think twice about doing it. Now if it was a limited run model I wouldn't do it though. |

I imagine you will get a warmer response here than you did on MO.

So I went over there I used to frequent that site before the security breach scare when they changed everything, now I can't seem to get logged back in. Great bunch of people but they kind of frown on chopping up JM marlins for tactical accessories. |

Just curious. What if a person had a ported barrel and threaded that barrel and put on a suppressor. Evidently, the porting is to help maintain sighting for rapid shooting. Wonder if the sound would be that much different from a non ported barrel and a suppressor. I find quite a few ported barrels but am not sure about going with one.

Threading forward of the porting? That would be loud as hell even with a suppressor. You would also get port blast on the rear mount and/or suppressor as well. I had a couple of ported 1895s but sold them due to noise.
