Threaded Barrels

[1911SHOOTER]

     Has anybody heard any rumbles about a threaded barrel for the Gen II R51s.
That pistol at the top of the page just looks so cool with a suppressor.
I know there was talk of a threaded barrel on the Gen I but there is no sign of it
on the web now.  Hopefully some machine shop will develop one.

A longer barrel could make disassembly/reassembly even harder. As is, you don't have a lot of 'wiggle room" getting the barrel back in because of that weird angle you have to put it in with the bushing. If it was any longer, it may not go in at all. I think it would be great, but not sure if it is feasible.

Tex,
     As usual you are keeping me honest with my posts.  Still like the idea though.
