Re: Need very good smith to put on threads on H-s TTD
I'd be willing to do it but understand there's some things you need to be made crystal clear on prior to this ever moving forward.
1. IF (because I don't have it right in front of me to verify) the barrel is indeed glued permanently to the forend of the stock it will have to be removed from the forend first. IF this IS in fact the situation, then IT WILL need to be glued/bedded to the forend again afterward during the assembly.
Reason(s): In my lathe (an $85K slant bed CNC tool room lathe) I cannot physically install the barrel in the machine due to the stock being attached. Even if I could, I wouldn't because to generate the proper speeds/feeds when threading/crowning a barrel it would mean spinning the barrel at an rpm that's going to cause the machine to shake like a washer machine on spin cycle with a cinder block in it.
Because I'd have to break this down it can likely mean a couple things. It's very possible the paint may chip/split along the show line edge of the stock. In fact I'd count on it doing this.
If it doesn't then I can say with great certainty it will need to be painted again because the only safe way to split the two apart is with heat. The barrel gets warmed up enough to cause the adhesion between the two parts to break down. From there you peel it out.
Long story short:
The barrel has to come off
The stock will have to be painted over again
The barrel will have to be coated/blued/parkerized (whatever HS did at the factory) again.
The barrel(s) will have to be bedded to the forend again afterward.
Fortunately I have a full service shop that includes a paint booth and all the paint/coating stuff on the shelf. The guy that setup H/S's entire painting operation is someone I've known for about 9 years. I KNOW exactly how they do it and I have all the materials on the shelf to replicate the finish.
I also have the tooling/equipment to put it back to a 100% factory original look once completed.
If you'd like to discuss it further, please give me a call. I'll generate an estimate as we talk and email it to you prior so that were both on the same page with everything.
Regardless, good luck and hope you find your solution.

But they will put a new barrel on for $1500 and 2-4 month wait. I just got my first suppressor about 2 weeks ago and want a 30 cal suppressor for my H-S. If you check the website to see what im talking about.I would like to get some direction to talk to the right person can do it RIGHT with PRECISION.
