Is it possible to thread a metal GBB barrel yourself, instead of buying a whole new outer barrel?

ya but the threads wouldnt come out far enough for the silencer to attach to it.

Umm, here's my take on the threaded barrel situation. rap1171 has a good point from what I've seen stock barrel won't work even if you thread it. Onto threading a piece of metal, if your barrel sticks out enough to thread there are a variety of ways too thread it, including a lathe. Using a die is also possible (think like a tap but inside out).

Ryan is right on this unless you have something like an M93r.

if u have a good chuck for the lathe it would be fine. I have threaded harder. Just make sure 1 the metal is good so it doesnt shatter on you and two that the chuck isnt to tight or else u f uck up the round and then well your SOL.
