Barrel was cut at 16.5 then threaded back with the front site remounted. It didn't have a scope when I got it.
He had a great sense of detail and wasn't known for shoddy machine work. He never had a supressor in mind when he did it.
But it sure looked like a easy springboard for me to get started. I didn't know Mr Earp hung around these parts.
I would like to end up with three. 22lr 5.56 and a 9mm for my CZ. I just thought I might be covering the same base twice with the 220/223 bore.
Oh is 600$ a reasonable budget with stamp to get this done? Or not really.
Crappy pic of the CZ I would be looking to do next.

Still no guarantee that the threading was done concentric to the bore. The quick and cheap way to do it is to sight down the bore with the suppressor mounted. Next step would be to use an appropriate sized drill rod and third would be to actually measure it.
If you want to do double duty, do it on your pistol caliber can. You can get a .45 can and run .40 and 9mm out of it. Most fullsize .45 cans are the same diameter as their 9mm counterparts and only an inch longer and performance losses aren't too noticeable.
$600... for rimfire can, sure. For anything else, probably not. $200 itself will be the cost of the stamp. If you order from a place like Silencer Shop, your local transfer dealer will charge anywhere from $50-100 for a transfer. So almost half of your budget is going towards taxes and fees.
Personally, I don't recommend the Octane for rimfire. Yes, the baffles are stainless, but the birdcage/piston encapsulator is fixed in the can and can't be removed for servicing - so you'll be scrubbing off all the buildup by hand with a brush in order to get your piston back in.
