I recently purchased a P7 with a factory HK threaded barrel. The gun originally left Oberndorf with a standard barrel, but was later returned to the factory which installed the threaded barrel and did a new test target. I also have the original barrel and the original test target. I have seen several photos on this forum of P7M8s and P7M13s with factory threaded barrels and understand that they are rare. However, I have not found any photos of the older P7s with a factory threaded barrel. Since I bought my gun, I have discovered that while the barrels are interchangeable between the M8s and M13s, the P7 barrel is different on the end that is pressed into the frame.
I have seen photos of P7s, P7M8s and P7M13s with third party threaded barrels or threaded barrel extensions, but I have not seen another P7 with a factory HK threaded barrel. So my question is does anyone here have (or know someone who has) a P7 (not M8 or M13) with a factory threaded barrel?
Here's a photo of mine. You'll note that on the HK factory threaded barrels the threads don't go to the end of the barrel.
Oh, and I've submitted the paperwork for an import permit (to France) so that I can get a Vaime suppressor from Augustine Gun Parts. Photos in a month or so.
