Not getting any traction in gunsmith forum, so cross posting.

Any recommendations?

Need 6” unthreaded barrel cut, sight moved and threaded or threaded for an adaptor.

Checked with EWK,Aquila, and ADCO. I know Ecco closed their books. Anyone else recommended?

Tornado Technologies?
They threaded a S&W 41 for me a few years back and we were talking about threading a Beretta 950.

Dang ADCO turned you down? Was planning to contact them about this. I too am in need of this but I have the 1/2x20 threaded barrel already, but cannot find a solution for a proper muzzle face mount. The cheap adapters that often are sold for this don't appear to face mount.

Avoid at all costs.

Now with more political fatigue.

Bad experience, or word of mouth?

I mean, I googled them and besides their website, the rest of the results were replete with many folks who lost their barrel, or complete receiver, and the money for the service, only to be ghosted for 6 months to 2 years without receiving their property back.

I would steer clear just on reputation alone. I don't need to find out first hand.

That’s for the suggestions.

ADCO said they offered in the past, and hope to again soon. No details on when.


I’ve heard about tornado, enough to steer me away.

Hadn’t checked with  Allegheny yet…

I’m hoping to find somewhere that will machine for an adaptor, so that I can get a shoulder to mount against. I don’t have any suppressors that face mount.

Which caliber in the Beretta 70 series are you trying to thread?

I've seen a ton of 32acp popup for sub $400 on Cabela's/Bass Pro used gun catalog, as well as a few other sights.

This batch has a threaded barrel. Was going to buy one, but Allegheny Arms Gun Works finally released their Beretta 81/84 threaded barrels in both 32acp & 380.

Might be cheaper to buy another 70 series pistol than get it threaded.

Probably should have mentioned that. Title updated.

I’ve been searching for another .22 barrel….
