6" barrell for kadet?

[Unregistered(d)]

anybody know of any manufacturers?

I don't know of any manufacturers, but a competent gunsmith could probably turn a quality barrel down and make the rear "block" to fit.   I'm not sure if the Kadet barrel is one-piece design or pressed in or what. Call Mike at CZ USA.  I'm sure it can be done, if you have the $$.  You planning on screwing something onto the end of the barrel?

"You planning on screwing something onto the end of the barrel? "
           
            How ever did you come to that conclusion?
           
            Actually I'm thinking of putting a silencer on it (legal and encouraged here in Finland). A longer barrel would be the best option to do that. Inside thread on the barrell would also be possible, but I would hate to do that.
           
            I realize that a custom barrel could probably be possible to order or manufacture, but I don't even dare to think of the price tag on that piece of steel.

A custom barrel may not be too expensive.  One thing you may look at is getting a 10" (or longer) barrel and having the silencer made from the barrel itself.  Just perforate the barrel, clean up the inside, and add expansion chamber and stuffing.  Just a thought.  Custom barrels of that size are usually less expensive because the smith can turn down a surplus rifle barrel.  
           
            All BATF and NFA rules apply.  Don't try this at home.  Yada Yada Yada.

I've been busy with other stuff, but I'll let you know if/when I get the silencer attached to it.

You can easily suppress a Kadet.  There are several ways to do it, most common is to back bore the muzzle about 3/8" and thread internally.  It's kind of nice actually, as the threads are well protected that way, but it can be a little hard to clean if you shoot it a lot without the suppressor.

            A suppressed Kadet used to be the main photo for the Scarab rimfire suppressor on their site.  It's just a little pic when you place your cursor over the name now.

Those silencers are pretty expensive aren't they? I can go to a sporting goods shop and get a .22 silencer for about 30$ in here.. they are maybe not that great, but the price difference is astonishing.
           
            Regarding the threading, I'm not quite sure what you mean. I'm thinking of milling down about half of the "fitting" at the end of the barrel and put threading there. Then make some sort of "adapter" for the silencer.. I really don't think that inside threading would be a great idea.
           
            Sorry if I don't make any sense, I'm not very good at explaining things in english.

Suppressors are very expensive here.  In addition to the cost of the suppressor, I have to pay a $200 tax for each one, and a 6% sales tax.  The paperwork takes about 90 days to be processed before I can bring one home.  Most people don't even know it's legal to own them here.
           
            Advanced Armament's suppressors are medium priced.  I have a couple that were way more expensive, and a few that were lower in price.
           
            I have no idea how different the effectiveness of the suppressors you have and the ones here would be.  There may be no difference at all.  I have an integrally suppressed .22 bolt action rifle, and the loudest sound when firing it is the sound of the firing pin hitting the rim of the case.  The loudest sound when firing my suppressed semi-auto .22 rifle is the bolt hitting the bolt stop as it ejects the empty case.  My best 9mm suppressor is good enough that you hear the slide cycle on the pistol when you fire it.  And that's with full power 147 grain ammo intended for submachine gun use.  Just barely subsonic from my pistol barrel.
           
            The guy who did the work on the Kadet on the website is named Kevin.  He's at the SHOT show right now.  When he gets back, I'll ask him how he attached the suppressor to the one on the website, and I'll pass that information on to you here.  It may be of some use to you.
