I forgot whether I told you Volquartsen charges $95 total to thread and
crown a barrel, include a thread protector, and drill and tap a hole on
the barrel to reinstall the front sight. Shipping back to me was $15.

I found that to be a very competitive price from a real vendor set up to
provide these sorts of services.

That does sound reasonable. I think if I was going to get a can for my
Ruger I would just buy another (threaded) barrel. You can get one for
about the same money the last time I looked.

I imagine my buddy Henk could thread a barrel tho. He has a real nice
lathe with the thread cutting adapter. I just have not seen the need.
Rumor has it, a 2 liter pop bottle works pretty well ... but that
would be wrong ;-)

You can get a barrel for that but getting it in and out of the upper
receiver is a bitch.
I just shoot pop bottles. Dunno how to screw one onto a barrel.

It turns out that you don't really need to thread the barrel on most
if not all Ruger 3s. Mine has little detents on each side which are
designed to accept set screws for slip-on accessories such as muzzle
breaks. No reason why a suppressor couldn't slip on the same way.

Gee, I've never noticed such detents on any of the Ruger Mark III's I've
owned or handled, nor are such detents visible on the Mark III's shown
on the Ruger websites. I have seen a Rube Goldberg-like device that
clamps over the front sight and allows attachment of muzzle accessories.
Oh, my current production Mark III, Model 512, has no little detents.
