Using a die to thread a barrel is generally a bad idea. First any barrel you buy will need to be turned down to proper diameter for the thread size that will be cut. This must be done on a lathe and be perfectly centered to the bore of the barrel and provide a square shoulder. Second using a die to cut the threads will usually results in non-concentric threads, not what you want for a suppressor mounting point.
The only way to properly thread a barrel is on a lathe by single point cutting. If you don't have a lathe then you will need to have a gunsmith do this or purchase a barrel already threaded for a silencer.
