22A or S compensated or threated?

[snowcat]

Hi everyone, can't hit anything with My P22 so I want to put my silencer on a 22A. The top rib may make it hard to thread. I saw a 22A-1 that the barrel stuck past the rib about a 1/2". When I looked at it , it had two holes looking up 1/8" from the end. Looks easy to thread. This was a like new used gun in a pawn shop. I called S&W and was told they never made a compensated 22A. Anyone got a idea about it or have had one threaded?

Thanks snowcat

The pawn shop was out of state and they would not ship it. After finding out nothing from S&W , I contacted the pawn shop and convinced them to sell it to me. I picked it up at my FFL's shop, and yes it it ported and on a 6" barrel.
I called S&W again with the ser# and found out they made 260 of them from 3/06 to 4/2006. They call it : 6" ported slab bull barrel.

Anyone see a problem with threading over the two port holes, then they would be covered up.
Thanks snowcat

That sounds interesting, too bad there's not any others who know about this.

Yes, when I called S&W, they said they never made a 6" barrel! But when I gave them the ser#, both people I talked to were surprized. I took it to a gun smith and he talked me out of threading it, because of the rareness. So i bought a 5.5" bull bbl and will have it threaded, and the site rail cut down.
