New threaded shroud design
I was recently asked by a member here if I could make a shroud that threaded onto the frame adapter. The adapter would stay in the frame, but the shroud tube will come off. I started on this a week ago, and at first I though it just wasn’t going to happen, because the threads have to be so fine. I searched through Machinery’s Handbook to see if I could find a standard thread that worked with the wall thickness and tube diameter, no such luck. So I had to base my thread off of a standard thread to make it work. To sum it up, after some fiddling and small cuts, I got the threads to fir together, and very nicely I might add. I wrote down all the measurement of the threads I made, so i can duplicate them in the future. Here is how it turned out.
I still need to find a finish that is very durable and looks good to. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

get rid of the knob and use camo cloth then it wont really be an issue why take the chance, its a very serious charge. good luck bro
Those would most likely explode if shot on a firearm.
😕 That sucks…! Guess the law isn’t the law…
That wasn’t the guy that had been convicted of gun trafficking was it? 😯
But what about Airsoft “mock suppressors” ??? 😯

I’m confused! 🙁
Chill out I was talking to Synopsis….
People sometimes bring up Intent… the guy never intended on attaching it to a real gun as far as anyone could prove – as it was shipped with the air gun it was to be used with…. people also mention how Airguns are not firearms and are not regulated by the BATF
BUT the BATF still got a conviction and he’s still doing federal time.
This is NOT a threaded silencer. It is the EXACT same as a shroud tony makes, but uses threads to hold the endcap and adapter on. My threads are custom made, so if anyone wanted to make an adapter that fit my shroud, they would have to get a hold of first. They would also have to be intelligent enough to measure the threads, and they would also need a lathe to cut them. I honestly think it is harder to adapt mine to a fire arm than a standard shroud.
Here is one all finished up. 
The guy in Mass.. sold an Air gun with a threaded silencer…

I don’t know whats legal but I would not push it.
Wasn’t that to collect cleaning patches…
It is “intended” to go on a firearm though so I can see where it becomes an issue…
Intent is an important part of this discussion and so far it has not been mentioned.
A potato with a hole is just a potato.
A potato with burnt gunpowder in the hole is a silencer… 😯
By federal law definition an airgun is not a firearm…
What about the replica silencers for airsoft guns? They actually fit firearms, just like the real ones, I could go and buy several of them right now that would quiet a pistol 1db easy… Yet they do not have the paperwork for selling silencers…? And anyone over 18 can buy as many as they like!!!
Now if you stuck one on the end of a real pistol and went waiving it around you’d be in deep shit…

I remember those.
There was an adaptor to clamp on a barrel that allowed a plastic bottle to be screwed on to it. The ATF made the manufacture take it off the market.
I don’t know whats legal but I would not push it.
My barrel has a 1/2 UNF thread on the end, and I have been very tempted to make a shroud that screws on the end. But I have heard that many firearms have that same thread, so I have left it alone.
Hi Blikin,
Great work, you have got skill.
Side stepping legal issues for a moment,
Would it not be a better job to thread the barrel and shroud, not the adapter for frame? The only reason I ask is in the past I got one that was secured by the end cap grub and no matter what I did it clipped the internals, in the end I threw it out.
And got one from Blod+ Barrel thread and am extremley 😀
Is it a legal thing over there re barrel thread? Excuse my ignorance

I’m with Tron, these new shrouds look incredible.
WOK has a lot of Butt, don’t you worry.

Nice work,
May I ask why you decided to create a thread to deal with the thin-walled tubing rather than put a bushing in the end of the tube that you could thread? Any weight increase from the bushing would be offset by a reduction in the weight of the adaptor on the frame.
Better yet, why not turn a bushing to fit inside the frame and then thread it (female) and then neck down the extension and thread it (male) so that it threads into the frame. By doing that you can also thread a regular cap to fit into the stock shroud, and when the extension isn’t being used it’ll all look stock.
Of course I don’t know why someone would want to thread it into the frame rather than slide it in, but I’m assuming that the customer has a need.
