the only way I know to do it is to have the barrel threaded. or buy a threaded barrel. then buy a silencer to fit it.
supposedly you don't want to use a .223 AR suppressor on a 22 rimfire because the rimfire shoots soft lead and kind of solders up the suppressor over time. but I don't know for sure about that. if it's true it sure seems a shame.

If you're in Canada it's pretty much academic for you though, because the general public can't own suppressors in Canada.

I'm going to start building a 10/22 at Christmas and I hope by this time next year I'll have the setup done and shooting well and that I'll get the can that I realyl want.

I've heard nothing but awesome things about this can and it is the one that I want. After the 10/22 is built I'll pick up a Walther P22 or a Ruger MkIII, still haven't decided. Or option 3, something else that's better that comes along before I buy one of the above.

http://www.silencertests.com/links.htm Most of the manufacturers here supply 22lr silencers that attach to any rifle or pistol that has 1/2-28 threads. But as said before, to sucks to live in Canada at times.

I think you need to move the front site back some to make room for the threads you cut. Admittedly, I am no expert...

A buddy of mine has a 10/22 with a suppressor built into the barrel. Just looks like a heavy barrel, but it's quiet as an air rifle (or quieter, actually) with full-power 22 lr loads. For example: click here.

If you don't care about keeping the front sight dovetail, any gunsmith should be able to cut off the end of the barrel, recrown it, and thread it so any .22 suppressor can be screwed on the end. Alternatively they can retain the front dove tail with some more work. Jim Pixley in Pelican Rapids MN did mine: http://www.webspawner.com/users/dude47jp/
I had it done to my 10/22 and couldn't be happier with it. It is now a 10/22 fully set up as a LTR with tech sights and is threaded for my suppressor.

Say I didnt live in canada I'm just curious to see if it's possible I know in the UK that they Thread the area before the from sight but are there silencers that thread into the barrels lands and grooves itself?

You can't just thread something into the rifling of a barel. You would end up choking the diameter and essentially having an obstructed barrel.
Threads outside only on rifles.
With that said, you can easily thread a 10/22 barrel or even buy an aftermarket suppressed barrel for it.
There were at one time some suppressors that mounted via spring lock mechanism, but they would sag and you'd end up with baffle strikes.
Threaded is the way to go, really.

Kk to change this up a bit could a gun with a boss attached to it have the boss removed and put the supressor on those threads?
Sureshot, the inside of the barrel can be threaded. A portion of it is inside machined to the proper dimension then a new crown put on followed by female threads. It is not hard for a gun smith as long as you have a bull barrel to use.
As long as the smaller threads that are used for mounting the boss or other muzzle device are not too fine, it will work. Also, the threads that are merely intended to mount a flash suppressor might not be cut straight enough to ensure properly alignment for a longer silencer.

I own a heavily modified Ruger 10/22 with a suppressor:
Most suppressors made for .22 lr firearms (and possibly most suppressors in general) use a 1/2x28 inch thread pattern. You can either have your barrel sent to a gunsmith and threaded, or just buy one of the many aftermarket threaded barrels that are available.
A couple things to keep in mind:
10/22 barrels come in the original size, and the larger .920 inch diameter "bull barrel." The larger diameter barrel will either require a custom stock, or some modification to your factory stock in order for it to fit properly.
If you are interested in maximum suppression you will probably also be interested in shooting subsonic ammo, as it doesn't produce the louder "ballistic crack" of ammunition that breaks the sound barrier. Because the rate of rifling twist is based on the speed of the ammo, some people who only intend to ever shoot subsonic ammo get 1:9 twist rifling instead of the standard 1:16, as it is designed to better stabilize the slower moving subsonic round.
Finally, and perhaps least importantly, there is the matter of the suppressor itself. You can buy one for $200 (not counting the tax stamp) that will be made of aluminum and designed for the .22 that will work great. However, if you ever buy something like a Mini 14., or some other rifle which shoots .223, or something like a Mac-11 with a .22 conversion kit, it is highly unlikely that that suppressor will be able to handle the significantly greater pressure created by either the .223 round or full auto fire. So if you think there is a chance that you might ever need a suppressor for a .223, or for a full auto .22, then you might consider getting a more expensive suppressor rated for either of those purposes (as it will still work great when used on your Ruger 10/22).

This is a good point. 22 ammo causes a TON of lead fouling. It is actually lead vapor condensing on the inside of the can and on the baffles, so even a sonic cleaner can't get it off. You have to be able to take it apart and scrub the inside and the baffles with a wire brush. It's a good reason to make sure ANY can that you might use with a .22 can be taken apart.

Most people just buy an aftermarket barrel that is already threaded. This is what I did for my 10/22's.

go to ebay muzzle comp adaptor tacticool seller it works on standard weight barrels. losen screw slide on use rubber hammer. tighten . done 1/2 x 28 adaptor no new barrel but you can do barrel from gemtech or others but 35 adaptor and shipping vs 140 .00 barrel with tax
