Threaded Walther P38/P1 Barrel?

Daddy-O · Sep 25, 2015

Hey all. Would anyone know of a source of threaded Walther P38/P1 barrels? I'm looking for one that is either threaded ½x28 or M13.5x1LH.

I'm not turning up much via Google and some regular sources of parts, so I thought I'd toss it out there. Thanks mucho for any info.

Just have its threaded its an easy job, do you need the front sight moved back on it?

Thanks for the note. This particular Walther is a post-war P1, which, iirc, has a lined barrel and can't be easily threaded. So, I was figuring if I had to buy a replacement barrel, it might as well be one already threaded. But, true that, I can just locate a P38 and have it threaded. Moving the front sight back would be helpful.

Thanks again.

Still an easy job even if its lined, just get dimension right and counterbore the barrel for a 1/2x28 extension. Barrel is thick enough that major diameter won't compromise integrity.

That is good to know. Thanks.
