Why in the world is it not threaded 1/2x28? I bought one, it's my fault I didn't check further, but really?
Looks like I'm gonna sell it and have my current .22lr American cut off and threaded. Anybody see any reason not to do this.

Just get an adapter and put on it. That will be cheaper than threading your American.

That is ture, but I just bought a 16" threaded CZ. I was going to sell it and have my American threaded. Gemtech will do it for $150. The adapter costs $45. so that only leaves $100. I'd still have $250 or so to spend on other stuff I don't need.

I ordered the adapter today from DIP. I decided to trade my CZ 452 American .22lr for a CZ 452 Varmint .22lr. Then I'm going to have my 452 HM2 American cut and threaded.

***Bill you need to post a Want to Trade in the classifieds, then you're welcome to refer to it here, thanks.

I bought an adapter for the 16" .22lr. Now I want to have my American HM2 cut to 16" and threaded.

I'll measure mine in the morning and let you know.

Thanks. Ben

Good call Ben B.
I measured it today. 17 and 3/8". Gonna make a few calls today and see who can cut and rethread it.

Wouldn't adding the adapter be cheaper and easier than cutting and re-threading?

It would be easier and a little cheaper. But why not fix it right? Cheaper isn't always better. For me, adapters are a temporary fix, but that's just me.
