Gunsmithing Who has the best pricing (and quality) for threading 3 AI barrels?

[jlficken]

I've decided to start running brakes and have 3 AI barrels that need threaded.

Any recommendations for where to send them that has decent turnaround times and pricing?

How far is Denver from where u r in NE? I would say mile high shooting is a good choice.

Yeah that'd work but $175/barrel is a bit much when I only gave $325 per barrel.

LRI all the way

Pricing and turn around time is irrelevant for quailty work...

He is also a member on this site and is very accessible.

There's also nothing wrong with not wanting to be bent over either if the end result is of equal quality.

I can't imagine what MHSA could do differently than LRI to justify the 75% price increase considering what LRI is capable of.

I’ll just say this, @LongRifles Inc. does fantastic work. But, MHSA has one of maybe 2 qualified armorers in this country. It’s all he does. Sometimes you do get what you pay for.

Qualified armorer for what? AI?

I'm not sure barrel threading really requires an AI qualified armorer.

You do you. I’m just offering up a suggestion. I have no doubt if you go with LRI the results will be excellent.

I agree with your sentiment, 175/ barrel is a rip-off though. That’s what all 3 should cost IMHO.

I get the impression LRI has automated a lot of this type of work. And MHSA does it manually.

In/out in a day or two. Muzzle threading goes quickly for us. Typically a "walk in" has them back in under 2 hours, same day.

Happy to help.
