Threading an All Weather Barrel

First post. Does anyone know if an all weather barrel can be threaded? It would be ideal if it could be extended so that the magazine tube does have to be shortened, which would further damage the hard chrome plating. I'd really like to see an All Weather Big Boy X in 40-70.

I guess I should have stated that I want to stay within a reasonable budget, like say $300.

That's plan B, though hard chrome is so much more durable and boat/weather friendly.

I bet a phone call to Henry might produce an answer.

Well as far as I know H.R.A. does not make any rifle in that caliber. The only way that you might get one in 40-70 would be a custom made Sharps from Shiloh or C.Sharps.

Yup kinda my thoughts also. That caliber is a caliber that would not have a high demand
