i have a post ban bushy barrel, as i understand the diameter of the muzzle is larger than an already threaded muzzle. my question is, cant i thread the muzzle i have, then bore out a a2 fh and tap the fh to match the barrel. or would the walls of the fh be too thin?

For the pain it would be to do......I would just get the barrel threaded properly.  It would have to be turned down in a lathe, then threaded.

Since the barrel OD of an unthreaded barrel us generally 0.700" and a 3/4" wrench (0.750") is used to put on the FH, without having everything in front of my, I'm guessing the above would be true.  0.050" total difference - 0.025" one either side - that's pretty thin.
