I would leave that gun alone and buy an easier, less attractive 10/22 to put a can on.

Backbore and internally thread the barrel concentric to bore. Put a nice crown down in there and install a threaded 1/2-28 extension with rocksett. After full cure, cut a square shoulder and it will look 100% like a normal threaded barrel. If you're paranoid you could either silver solder the extension or pull the sight post and blind pin the extension beneath the sight.

I've seen some pictures of a 22" barrel with a mannlicher stock. Maybe buy the longer stainless barrel, cut it back to just longer than what you've got, and call it good?
Otherwise the solution above is probably the best solution. |

Personally? No. But it's how I would do it. No reason it wouldn't work. Depends on the barrel OD at that location.

Cut the stock back a half inch and reset the nose cap?
Quite frankly, if it was my gun, I'd ditch the mannlicher stock. It's not 1920 any more, free float all the things. |

I'm not ditching my lever guns because they don't have a floated barrel. Although, I will say a mannlicher stock on an autoloading 10/22 is a bit of an oxymoron but does look cool. Personally, I'd leave it alone. The cost to modify it is going to put you close to the cost of a new/used 10/22 with a factory threaded barrel and I think you'd ruin the aesthetics of the rifle. Not sure about right now, but in normal times you could find a new one for around $300. |

Ok. You guys are coming up with most of the same thoughts I had. Modifying could get costly and ruin the original point of the mannlicher. Sights would need to be changed. Who knows, maybe this thing will breed into a new rifle.

Holy crap, used prices are insane. There is a "mint unfired" version of mine asking $750.
I could just do a threaded barrel and find a cheap stock to hack up and keep my original stuff. it really would be a shame to hose up this rifle. It looks too neat the way it is now. |

Prices are inflated right now and I can't see anyone paying that much for a used 10/22. Shop around more or wait.

other then getting a different 10/22 this would be your best option for mounting a suppressor
i had the same type of threading done on a beretta u22 neo so i could put a suppressor on it Quoted: Backbore and internally thread the barrel concentric to bore.

I'm in the leave it alone camp. I would build a new 10/22 for suppressor use. Depending on what route you take on the new one (compared to what route you took to modify this one) a new one could actually be cheaper then modifying this one.
If I was dead set on modifying this one to have something truly unique, I would buy a new sportier taper barrel and send it to a smith to have it cut and threaded to the right length and have the front site installed. That would probably run you ~$250 and you could buy another 10/22 for the much. |

Here's a 22" factory SS sporter profile barrel that you can have cut and threaded and the front site moved back...
ebay Here's a guys who can do that work and turn it into a real tack driver if you are willing to spend the $? Connecticut Precision Chambering |

i had one of the guys at work do it
i would contact class3machining i just sent them one of my pistol barrels |

Quoted: Go buy another gun. It will be easier and possible cheaper than the conversion. View Quote Not if you have an internal threads and a threaded adapter installed. Nick at ECCO machine put internal threads and an adapter on my .22 pistol for around $130. All I had to do was mail it to him. Being able shoot suppressed is a great benefit for your ears. |

IM sent.
Ruger lists their factory, standard taper 18.5" threaded barrels (p/n 90567) as being 18.5", but I just measured a non threaded vs. a threaded, the threaded appears to be 19". I've wanted to do a Mannlicher stocked 10-22 with a suppressor for a while now. |

Ruger makes threaded barrels now.
Buy one the same length and replace. Seems simple. Threaded oem barrel |

This looks like an interesting way to do the job. I'd trade that one for a basic model though. There were comparatively few made, all for Wal-Mart's distributor. |

Any good barrel threading place can add a threaded extension, attached internally or externally the barrel.

Quoted: This is probably a better idea. For only a bit more than the price of the threading work you could buy a decent 10/22 with a factory threaded barrel. Pre-panic you could find them for $300 or less locally. View Quote |

I've never been a fan of the mannlichers, but they have a following.
So personally I'd sell and buy a LVT or DSP or similar model that has a regular adult-like stock (I *hate* the butt on the carbine) and go from there. Maybe even if you've not gotten the can yet get a GemTech Mist integral setup and use any barrel meant for a 920 stock OR sand out any wood barrel. I'd say do that for the mannlicher but then your still needing to re-figure out the end cap to accomodate the 920 diameter... |
