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.

I just thought there was a reason Tony didn’t make his shrouds threaded. Oh well.
Come on, you could just as easily make an adapter to fit a Tony shroud on a firearm. The same could be said for all of our shrouds. If your trying to find something to pick about go after those threads. Give him some constructive criticism.
Not sure how legal this is?? I thought it had been discussed why we don’t thread our moderators. Could this be trouble?
I was thinking adam needed that treatment.
Saw a big guy weightlifting on the olympics, he would be perfect for the job. 🙂
Nice work.
It would be simple to make an adapter and screw it on my Ruger 10/22.
Think about it.
If you want something that should be kept silent and screwed, and you choose a gun then something is not right 🙄
A threaded silencer… Just what I’d post on the internet 😯
That would work wonders on a SS 8)
Very nice work !
Picture installed on my rifle. 
That looks great 😮

nice work.
If you are looking for a “matte black”, GunKote from Brownells is very good. It is a “bake on” enamel, bonds well to aluminum and is very durable.

or look into anodizing, that’s something I’m considering adding to the shop this winter. lots of good info at CaswellPlating

Its threaded to hold the ends on. Ive seen this before on the old board and nobody freaked. I think Ive seen it here as well. All it would take would be to make an adapter that went from a firearms threaded barrel to a one inch tube and set screw and you could take any “shroud” and stick it on a firearm. You dont even need threads to have something declared a silencer.
