I considered threading the barrel on my current build of a 243, but my barrel didn’t have enough meat. Your case may be different, depending on the caliber, barrel weight and desired thread. You’ll have to do the research, or ask a gunsmith. It would require a new front sight ramp. It would affect the balance, but you could also shorten the barrel. Suppression wasn’t a high priority for me, so I didn’t pursue it.
Good luck!
