MAYBE... after a machining operation is completed....
You must find someone with a metal working lathe to "turn down" the threads, making a slip-on barrel. You are basically cutting off the threaded section. It is threaded, right?
If you have a caliper, please measure the narrowest part of the threads. You should be able to determine approximate size. You'll need either 23mm for a Euro-style trunion. *IF* its less than 23mm, then you can sleeve it or simply use a 19mm trunion from Globaltrades.
The only other problem as I see it, you will have to get a new buttstock, which depending on your plans you may decide to get anyway, so this is not a problem to me. The milled buttstocks don't have that extra material to slip into the receiver.
SO... if all this is too much, or you simply have no lathe available to you, then send it back.
If only I had my mini-lathe... I'd offer to turn the threads down m'self. Gotta pay off that mill first
