So i got this internally threaded barrel, and i was wondering if there was an adapter i could get to make it have a bit of a externally threaded barrel, like a thread barrel extension? and vise-versa for it's silencer?

is your gun a WE pistol? as WE did do an adapter.

that they are and I found this thank to you: https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/we-europe-we-pistol-thread-adapter

Is there anything that's the opposite?

do you mean an adapter with the opposite thread direction? or a small outer barrel extension?

 

although I personally haven't seen any we 11mm to 14mm CW adapters put there...

one that goes from a 14mm exterior thread, to a 11mm interior thread.

You have a barrel with an 11mm internal thread, to use that with a 14mm threaded suppressor you need the adaptor you linked to from Patrol base (ie 11mm outer thread to mate with the 11mm inner thread of the barrel).

Yes, but I also have a silencer for that barrel I'd like to use on other guns.

the adaptor is removable from either the barrel or the suppressor therefore; unscrew when you are finished and put on different pew? 

 

I'm afraid that I am struggling to follow what you are actually looking for. 🤔

 

if in doubt take some photos, a picture is with a thousand words...

Right, so you have an 11mm outer threaded suppressor. Are you sure it doesn't have an adaptor fitted to it? As above, pics would be great!

Is it the one with the sloped shoulder on the threaded end or is it flat?

Ah right. I think the flat ended one has a 11-14mm converter in it. The WE Makarov one you have is a bit of an oddball in as much as it's fixed at 11mm, you will struggle to find an adaptor exactly as you're after. Most externally threaded barrels are 14mm threads internal threads on pistols are 11mm. To use your suppressor on pretty much any other pistol you'll be fine as is. To use any other suppressor on your pistol you just need the 11-14mm adapter mentioned above. I've yet to see a 11mm female to 14mm female adaptor that would enable you to use your suppressor on an externally threaded barrel.

Any machining shop. 

 

Probably cheaper and quicker to just get a new suppressor and an adaptor though.

Not wrong. But where is the fun in that?
