threaded barrel for KWA usp compact

Postby Alien_Hunter » Thu May 02, 2013 12:04 pm

Ok so I had a G&p thread adapter and I quite literally twisted it onto the barrel. Boom. Threaded barrel. Right now the trigger is broken so I'll see how it works later. For now, pics. (PS- 14mm thread)

Right now it's in slightly under a thousand pieces. Got me a stubby suppresor coming soon so pics then!! I can see why the previous owner did not want to fuss with the trigger.

KWA uses a floating outer barrel set up for most of their NS2 weapons. Which means when adding a suppressor onto the floating outer barrel it shifts the weight distribution and can cause the outer barrel to pull down as the slide is moving back forward, which can cause other problems. This is why none of their guns come with threaded barels, (except the MK23) and why KWA doesn't sell aftermarket threaded adapters for their weapons. They suggest not using a suppressor because it causes excessive wear and tear on the gun and can even cause them to not function properly. At least this is what I have heard and experienced.

I think most guns have similar style barrels. KWA/KSC does not like a lot things.

Although I will side with you, the current silncer is simply too darn big and make the barrel wobble
