Beretta 21a threading for a can

Post by **GunningBadger** » Fri Mar 22, 2013 9:20 pm

I picked up a little beretta 21a and sent it to tornado tech to get threaded. Hopefully its gonna be a nice tiny package with a suppressor. Squirrels don't have a chance.

I need to see this when done.

I have always wanted one in 25acp & a silencer.

This one will be .22. I'd love a .25 and can but the normal 9mm cans would be too big. Maybe something like a tirant short. Or a nice form 1 can. Saw somebody use a wasp with wipes on a 21a in .22lr. Looked pretty slick.

Cranky did the threading on my 21a and it works great. With Colibri rounds and my Stratus can, squirrels are DOOMED!

Threaded 3/8-32 for a adaptor that will have OD 1/2-28 for a forum member.

turning done to .373 OD. Barrel dialed in a four jaw chuck and held in live center.

Before the turning.

Adaptor was made in lathe four jaw lined bored and tapped with a floating tool holder
OD threads single point threaded in lathe.

Scropman
That's my take on it
How twisted sister machine theirs no idea.
The hardest part is talking the barrel off and on the 21.
