[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Threaded barrel for PMR-30?

Posted: 4/10/2012 11:48:17 AM EDT

Anyone know if KelTec plans on releasing a threaded barrel, or if there are any aftermarket manufacturers making threaded barrels for the PMR-30?

I have plan on getting a Silencerco Sparrow for a dedicated .22 upper, and it will pull double-duty on the PMR since it's rated for .22 Magnum.

I read that Keltec was planning a threaded barrel, but that was October, 2010 and I haven't seen anything since.

I'm pretty sure that KWTM, a KT employee (engineer, IIRC) who posts regularly at KTOG, has stated that the PMR cannot be suppressed and still feed/run because of blowback issues due to its hybrid operation/design.

I don't have a PMR yet and haven't been following it all that closely, so there may be some newer info out there...

From what I've read so far, it sounds like the PMR-30 can be suppressed, but the slide opens up too soon and will coat the shooter with unburned powder residue.

Looks like I will continue searching for a .22 caliber suppressor host.

I'm going to get one as soon as I figure out if I want a corporation or just own it outright.

Ive got the threaded barrel and it rocks. Makes my PMR-30 look so much more bad ass. Now I am going to get the picatinny rail by TANDEMKROSS.

Kel Tec threaded barrel with flash hider for PMR-30.

Thompson Machine designed the Isis22 with the PMR-30 in mind.
