PMR 30 Threaded Barrel

[Tango2249]

I just received from Kel-Tec the threaded PMR 30 barrel that I ordered. No where on their website does it say that the use of a suppressor is NOT recommended. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on these barrels. I was planning on using this barrel with a Spectre...

I've been looking for a PMR 30 for months now. Where did you find yours?

Thanks

Let us know how that works, I have heard that due to the way the PMR 30 operates that the blow back of soot and gasses is a bit extreme.

I ordered it directly from Kel-Tec.

The barrel doesn't have a shoulder.

That barrel is not suitable to be installing a suppressor on it unless your suppressor shoulders on the crown of the barrel.

Spectre doesn't shoulder in that way.

When you ordered from Keltec was there a backorder?

You were joking about the website though, right? Cause the bold red print kinda gave away that you're not supposed to use a silencer on the PMR 30

Did you miss the picture YOU uploaded?

It says right on there not recommended. Just because it isn't on their website doesn't mean the included information when you purchased the part is not valid.

NO...I did not miss the picture that I uploaded. I took the pictures of the package that the barrel came in myself after I received it. There are NO pictures or descriptions on the website. Thanks for the smart ass comments though...

You are right its not on the wensite but the documentation says it clearly.

The way i interpreted your post was that since the website doesn't say NO then its fine and here's the threaded barrel silencer ready. Apologize for misreading your words.

No problem....I didn't see the package until AFTER I received it from Kel-Tec. They have no pictures or description of the barrel on their website which pisses me off. I probably should have contacted them before ordering the barrel. I'll contact them about returning the barrel.

Is the "not suitable for suppressors" due to the fact that the slide may not function correctly with the new weight? or is it due to it not having a shoulder? I'm sure with some creativity it can be done, early reports of testing said it would require a very light can.

Wow, long threads, no shoulder! What are they thinking? Maybe they can sell extended barrels for threading.

I would send this back. Sorry amigo! I like to see one in action!

I'm definitely going to send it back since there is no shoulder on it. It would have been a fun gun to shoot with a suppressor...

The RMR should be easier since the barrel is fixed. That is if they ever release them.

It wont be if it uses the same pencil dick barrel.

IF you screw on a right machined nut , THEN the can , then use the nut (Unscrew) to tighten up things , it should be good IF the threads are done right
another possibility is a piece that screws on first and act like a shoulder

Good point. That could work but could be risky try.

maybe Thompson Machine can tell us how they did theirs

a guy on Ktog is claiming to attempt it and is using a thread adapter to bring it to 1/28, he hasn't reported back yet

Spectre doesn't shoulder in that way.

Would using this 3/8-24 to 1/2-28 adapter provide the shoulder needed to attach a Spectre to the threaded Kel-Tec barrel?

No because the adapter needs something to shoulder on and that barrel has no shoulder.

Good point. That could work but could be risky try.

For that kind of install I would be more inclined to try it with a 9mm can just for the added clearance.

What an utterly disappointing fail from KelTec, a threaded barrel that is only tacti-cool.

If the design doesn't allow for it what are you going to do?

make an adapter that indexes on the muzzle?
