    What kind of thread you're looking for? Unless you want centerfeed twistock, i don't see how it can be done.

    Good luck.

          You don't understand, you can't thread a twist lock barrel into a cocker thread, or any other thread for that matter. How would it be possible? You can however buy a twist lock to cocker adapter like Teambob said. With it, your twist lock barrels will fit in cocker threaded mags.

          Doc and Noxx makes them if i'm not mistaken.

            the adapters are mag to cocker threaded, which means you can use cocker barrels on twistlock bodies. and yes you can have them re-threaded to cocker threads , but its going to take a few inches off. a guy in the dealer forums on mcarterbrown does it for around $35 if i remember correctly.
            EDIT-

              You can do it yourself if you have access to a metal lathe and the appropriate dye :)
