Any competent gunsmith can thread a barrel.  Muzzle breaks are terribly loud, but effective at reducing recoil.  Have you thought of just putting a suppressor on them?  Best of both worlds imo.  Less recoil, slower recoil pulse and way less noise.  Try Axisworks in the valley or phoenix custom rifles to get your barrel threaded.  Like I said before tho, Any gunsmith can thread a barrel.

Taking them to Canada, and don't want to get blown out of the tree like when I was a kid. Thanks for the great info.

Sell it and get a 444. You won't need the MB. They don't look right on a LA.

I just bought it. I'm not cool so it doesn't need to look cool, but I've seen manic done before.

If you're tree stand hunting over bait shots will be 15 -25 yards. One and done so you will never feel the recoil. They bleed out fast and won't go very far.

I wouldn't put one in the lever gun. The other gun is a judgement call but be prepared to wear ear muffs when shooting it. 

 

No suppressors allowed in Canada
