chevy bob Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 hello all, Well I just picked up my new Thompson from the LGS and brought her home.Its nothing real special {other than it's a pistol}. Anyway, I got to looking at it and Isee that it's missing the compensator,so I get out my AO parts list and find that there are 2 listed.One is listed as threaded and the other not threaded {so I'm assuming that its a press fit}and they both made by Cutts. Now my question is..... Which one should I get ? Is one better than the other or both basically the same. Which is easier to put on too? Thankyou in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95mustang Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Depends if your barrel has a smooth end or threaded with 3/4 inch threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevy bob Posted January 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 I can't really tell if the barrel is threaded or not cause its covered by the front sight ring.Also looks like the sight ring is pinned on to the barrel with 2 locater pins, but I am no expert on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95mustang Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 It's not threaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldtrooper Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 To my knowledge the A5 pistol does not come with a compensator ... Just the sight ring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halftrack Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I am assuming from your post that you want to exchange the current front sight (ring type) with a compensator type. You would need to buy the Kahr compensator which is NOT threaded. I believe Kahr only offers the pin type anyway. Your barrel is not threaded. Beware, if you buy the compensator from Kahr, make sure you buy the front sight with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
