I am interested in a threaded barrel that will accept AR type flash supressors. Any thoughts where to buy something like this?

Buhmaster sells just the barrel, threaded.  Click on their Icon in the upper right on this site.

I used to see them on ebay in different lengths. But, not anymore.

I just sent off my Ruger 77/22 barrel last week to be cut off and threaded for a sound suppressor. I'd recommend just having your current barrel threaded.

That's way too much - it looks like a factory takeoff barrel, which can be had for like $25.    So, that's basically a $100 threading job of unknown quality, which is more than even the well-known suppressor manufacturers charge.   Granted, if you're only going to be mounting a flash suppressor and not a sound suppressor, such precision is not quite as important, but if you are going to pay for it, you may as well get it.

Personally, when I got a .22 can and wanted to use it on my 10/22, I thought it pretty silly to spend nearly $100 threading a $25 barrel, so I got a nice aftermarket barrel of better quality to have threaded instead.    

As mentioned, you may want to check around locally to have the threading done - not only at gunsmiths, but any machine shop should be able to do it as well.   Barring that, there are a couple of well-known C2's that do the job fairly cheaply.   I was going to have mine done by Mike Klos at www.american-manufacture.com, but he was not accepting new work at the time, so I ended up sending it to Gemtech - nearly 2x as much when their (IMHO) inflated return shipping is added, but I got it back quick.

All reports indicate to stay far away from the ones sold by FAC.

I picked up a 10/22 takeoff that was threaded by a local CII at a local gun show (I paid 60.00).  I mounted my Bowers Paradigm ( http://www.subguns.com/products/cans/22/ ) and it is VERY quiet.  I don't think I even need the plastic aftermarket bolt stop either.  Oh and to answer your question it looks cool with an AR flash hider as a thread protector too...MadDog(760)

I'm considering having this done also-- I just don't know if I'll have my existing barrel threaded, if I'll have a bull barrel threaded, or if I'll go SBR and get one of the above cut to 12.5" and threaded.

Got a Lakeside can-- form 4 approved and picked it up last Friday!

Check out www.gunsnstuff.net

I didn't find it on their website, but in the current Shotgun News they are selling factory contoured, blued barrels for $67 bucks(page 61). Threaded 1/2x32 or 1/2x28.
