    Most likely done by Bubba. Quite possibly a re-enactor who doesn't care about the thing's value. Carbine barrels were never threaded for anything.
    Doesn't look like it was done on a lathe by somebody who knows how. Threads are square and about 6 TPI.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Threads can be any pitch or amount you wish...obviously you've never run a lathe.

    Speaking of lathes, it kinda looks like the Acme threads used for their carriage drives...

    threaded carbine barrel

    I think the threaded carbine barrel is made for a small blank adopter which would look good in film or movies - and still work the action.

    My picture shows two types of BAR Model 1918A2 and 1918Attachment 112099Attachment 112098 blank adopters and when attached to the weapon, they don't stand out as blank adopters and are good to use in movies

    I think it was for a suppressor. Looks like the thread patterns I have seen on Cobray/Sionics suppressor threaded barrels in the 70s/80s. Could have been a Spec Ops carbine. I remember years ago seeing a picture of an operator with a suppressed M1icon Carbine in Central America. The threads in those days were coarse and deep.

    Maybe so... A carbine with a can wouldn't be the very best candidate though. Even though they did them...

    I agree that it isn't the best candidate. Cans work best with sub-sonic rounds. We had IMI 157 grain subsonic 9mm for our suppressed UZIs and MP5s. 300 Black Out ARs with 16" barrels are best with supersonic 115s and 125s. The 10.5 inch with a can need the 220 subsonics.
