What he said
What's underneath looks like the twists on a drill bit.
The plastic silencer is molded onto the twists
Removing it is destructive process.
Best to cut the barrel, true it up with a hand file & re-crown.
A dab of cold blue to keep out the rust off the bare end
You will still be left with 12.5 to 13 inches of good barrel for a slip-on silencer & that will give you back some of the leverage you had before, when the barrel was 19 inches long
