5.2M Inland with threaded barrel
Recently bought an Inland made 5.2 Million serial M1 Carbine. At the beginning I didn't really notice, then after some time to my surprise found out the barrel in front of the front sight is threaded! It still has the original length and retains all of its original markings, plus no sign of the front sight ever having been removed. The threading is extremely strong and nothing I would expect for precise fitting. Anyone an idea what for this threading has been done?

That barrel complete could go right through the headstock of a decent size lathe and be threaded without problem, that looks like a common thread. Have you looked? Maybe twelve per inch? Done for a can no doubt, even though they sure aren't the best for it.

Also possible for a blank adaptor.

If it was for a BFA,
Would it be the Type 2 Clamshell model in this link ?

Only BFA I See That Screws On
Link above works for me ?
Try this link to the picture (I can't get it to post) and below is the description about the Type 2, Copied/pasted.
http://www.90thidpg.us/Equipment/Art...s/PICT6223.JPG
Description:
2.) "Clamshell" Type from Atlantic Wall Blanks / Ravenna Armory
How does this attach: This adapter has 2 side plates that wrap around the barrel held in place by 2 screws. Then a flat washer goes on the muzzle to protect it, then an end cap screws on. Finally an aperture screw is installed in the front.
Adjustability: This adapter is readily adjustable and comes with 5 aperture screws.
Safety: This adapter is designed to use modern reenactor .30 carbine blanks. Because this design clamps on the barrel, but is also held on by the front sight, high power "Hollywood" blanks are not recommended for use.
Compatibility: This adapter will not fit on commercial carbines that have barrels and front sights that are not the same as USGI.
This means it will not fit on late Universal carbines. Late Universals can be distinguished by their dual recoil springs and "window" in the slide that you can see the bolt tab.
It will only fit on USGI front sights and barrels. It has been reported that this adapter is a tight fit, and if the front sight is beat up or has peening around the edges, the sight will need to be cleaned up for it to fit.
Aesthetics: This adapter has a moderate visual impact. It is better than the nato surplus, but it isn't invisible even at 30 feet. You will most certainly remember and be able to quickly see if the adapter is on the rifle; there is no confusing this for anything else.
Cost: $80 Online.
Atlantic Wall Blanks - $79.95
Ravenna Armory - $80.00
Tools needed to install / maintain: None.
Edit To Add: I should have said the only type I've seen that screws on the outside of the Muzzle. But these are new to me.

IDK if I have it described correctly as far as how it mounts (Type 2).
Might be a good time for me to ease out of a conversation I don't know Sh!t about.
All you guys now :-)

For not being US I unfortunately don't have equipment to check which US threading it might be..

I would think thread checkers could be had in metric or imperial anywhere, I have a set...but it's not too important.
All that said, Charlie seems to have found a reasonable and probably more likely candidate than my silencer suggestion...here's the picture. You can see it's got to be close.
I too think it’s for a BFA, but not the one Charlie mentioned.
If you read the middle part, it states this design is a clamshell design (which can be seen with the screw on top holding the pieces together), so no use for barrel threads.
So either a can, or a different style BFA.
