flounder Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 the worst part of all this is, i have the equipment needed to put a nice thread on the barrel but dont have a break in the machine schedule to do it. so i could just "save" myself the trouble of selling/buying but lose more than i'm "saving"sad faceIm sure you know this since I think your a machinist but just in case, remember if you thread it yourself, you need to dial the barrel in and indicate off the bore and not the OD of the barrel. Threads should be concentric with the bore, not the barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 never hurts to have a reminder, thanks flounder.my plan was to do a test cut with bar stock I have laying around (recreate barrel ID, indicate, create OD thread), check with my CMM (which will let me know concentricity in microns) and then set barrel, indicate, and run.well... ok, that WAS my plan, but my production is non-stop until october, and while being a patient person, i'm not THAT patient... so I'll either buy one with threads on it or have a gun smith do mine. i think tom's got a friend who does good work, so I'll look into that if i really can't find a mkII with threaded barrel any time soon. stupid jerks, buying up even bolt action 22's.

4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I checked threading mine and it was about the same as the gun to have the service done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTheAzn Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I've been looking into the Savage Mark II FV more and more and the more I look into it, the more I want one over a 10/22 hmmmmSent from my iPhone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I checked threading mine and it was about the same as the gun to have the service done...get a hold of walther_gsp and see if his friendly local gun smith can help you out. maybe he'll give us a good deal if we both send our rifles in, or maybe we can arrange some group buy. i think speedytriple was talking about getting some barrels threaded and i'm sure there are others who want to mall ninja their shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 There will be no deals on threading just 2 rifles, 10-20rifles maybe. Fyi the guy you are referring to is Mark Gordon at Short Action Customs. I believe he has his price listed on his page. One of the best smiths in the US IMO.

4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 $110 bucks plus shipping for a 200 dollar rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 You have to remember. Its not about the rifle, its the cost of the service. Costs the same amount on a $3500 rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I understand. This is the whole reason I was thinking of selling and buying a factory threaded. Cheaper overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flounder Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I don't trust factory thread jobs. Too many stories of then being off causing baffle strikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 so I'm kind of cheap...anyone have an opinion on a Mossberg 702 plinkster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Good luck finding .22lr ammo LOL! And Bad I have read they are a very under rated gun. Good for a cheap gun out to 50 yrds. Not a tack driver, but good for plinking hence the name.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
