[QUOTE="Wall, post: 1150335, member: 7420"] The barrel set up in a GSG-5 is not very accomidating for a suppressor. You can't just thread the barrel & be ready to go. The barrel is actually secured by the barrel shroud/fake suppressor. Removing that & threading the barrel with no way to secure it anymore will just leave your barrel flopping around. No one wants a floppy barrel. Also, the ouside diameter of the actual barrel is something like .48, if I remember correctly. The thread size for a .22 can is 1/2x28tpi. So, the outer dia. of the barrel isn't big enough to thread for a suppressor to directly attach anyway. JeffSoward sbr'd his using a gemtech threaded adapter that screws into the receiver housing & secures the barrel, the barrel length after shortening is something like 8.38". After all is said & done, it sticks out past the hand guard/receiver about 1" & he runs a spectre on it from there. It looks awesome. You should talk to Jeff & look at his first hand to get an idea of what to do. He'd be more than happy to show it off. FWIW: You'd probably get more help with this in a seperate thread. I just happen to think dustin's rifle setup is pretty badass, is the only reason I saw your posting. [/QUOTE]
