Local threading services?

[TurboGoKart]

Does anyone know if there is anyone locally who will thread a barrel? I know there are plenty of places online, but I'd like to avoid the whole shipping back and forth thing if I can. Thanks.

Rifle or pistol?

I have a friend who is a gun smith here hilliard. Can they do that for you?

Call Gun Envy.

 

If not ADCO can do it I would think.

you could try local machine shops. They should have the tooling/machines to thread a barrel.

I'd rather get someone who does this, and knows how. GunEnvy had a decent quote so I may go with them. Thanks Ryan!

No problem. They have a good gunsmith working there.

 

The only other place that's local I've been to that might do it is Survival Tactics on E. Main St. next to Jegs. They would probably point you in another direction though.

The proper way to do it is with a lathe, which means the barrel needs to be removed to chuck it up and get it centered. If you are threading for a suppressor, take it or send it to ADCO. The threads need to be perfectly concentric to the bore for a suppressor.

 

If you are just threading for a muzzle brake or flash surpressor, you will have a little more 'tolerance' for threads that are not perfectly concentric to the bore. In this case, you can often get by with using a die kit to manually cut the threads without removing the barrel. Most shops with a capable gun smith can do this. It's also an easy DIY if you have patience and some mechanical ability. The problem is the tools will cost you as much as paying someone!

Threading for suppressor, well threading for a standard A2 style flash hider, then for suppressor. :gabe: Barrel is already off, actually I'm waiting on the stock to get here and I built it from scratch, so all I have so far is the receiver and barrel.
