I dont know what you want it for,im guessing a silencer.As you probably know already they're illegal .You could call the gun shops and ask.

Not so...they are strictly illegal...no gun shop is Sydney will legally alter or modify the barrel of any weapon being .22 or otherwise for the fitting of anything that screws on.... They used to be legal in SA were they were called a "cuts compensator" or similar. Only good for .22 shorts and sub sonic cartridges. If you get caught with it you will be charged with "possession of prohibited item" or similar...there are many other ways of reducing the muzzle blast from a .22 without resorting to a fitted "silencer". Clearly, however, it is not appropriate to discuss this matter at length on this forum .... but you may wish to check out the movie "shooter" with Marky Whalburg where there is a scene where he shows how it is done....;)

Guys, legal or not, this isn't a topic suitable for TBGA.
