threading

Good afternoon everyone, A while back I purchased a steyr safe bolt tactical in 308, it needs a picatinny rail on the receiver along with barrel threading for an AAC muzzle brake. These things need to be done perfectly since I plan to put a suppressor on it eventually. Any expertise or...

I need a barrel threaded and id like to see who does what and for how much. do we have a list of smiths on here? so far its looking like $100 to $150 is the going rate and a little more for a blended thread protector. that touch would be nice, but im ok with just an off the shelf thread...

OK, don't rape me over this one but I'm out of my league when it comes to this and now that I'm in a CLASS 3 friendly state and I'm getting things together I'm looking for some knowledge. Please go over with me what I think I know and correct me were I'm wrong. using the size 1/2 x 28 for...

I have a fluted Rock Creek from GAP with 5 deep flutes and I want to cut and thread it at a point within the fluted area. The width of barrel at the point that I want to cut it is @ 1" and flutes are @ 5mm deep. Is this going to be a problem? TIA

Can anyone recommend a good smith for threading the barrel on my AI AE? I also need a brake installed and the entire thing refinished.

When cutting internal threads, is it a good idea to use a left hand cutter and reverse the spindle direction to cut from the inside out? I wonder if cutting with a right hand cutter up to a shoulder, blindly, may be done on the lathe with out crashing into the shoulder. I do not have a DRO but I...

I was interesting to cutting my barrel down and having it threaded, my question is do you buy the knurled thread protectors or are they custom made by the gunsmith doing the work. I may also consider putting a Vias brake on it that I can take on and off.

If a barrel has been threaded for a Weatherby Mark 5 action will it fit a Remington thread pattern? Or what other actions will it work on? Thanks

I have a couple of barrels off at tornado tech right now for threading. They have had the 4 months and no idea of when they will get done. I was going to get my barrel back from them and send it to george at GAP. Surely if he can build me a bad ass rifle he can thread a barrel. Any thoughts?

I've got a SPS tactical 223 obviously with a heavy barrel. Is it possible to thread it for a can or will I lose the crown? As you can tell, I'm a noob when it comes to precision rifles. Thanks

I just read the Vaughn book about his accuracy experiments where he identified barrel/action thread movement as a source of inaccuracy and the proposed a different type of threading to improve the lockup and make more threads actually engage and provide support. Are there any practical...

I have a 308 fn that shoots way better than I deserve. I had another rifle threaded last year for an elite iron bravo can. I tempted to thread this barrel which is 20 inches. Is it worth the risk or is the risk to accuracy minimal if threading the barrel? Thanks for your input.

HEllo I still new to this form and I just picked up a Rem 700 SPS (.223)Varmint with a 1/12 twist in a 26 inch barrel. My Question is; I would like to send it off to have it threaded for a can and I would like to have it cut down ass well to 18 or 20 inches. And I have seen AR15 barrels set up...

I know I havent posted much but am on the sight daily. Does someone on this sight thread barrels for brakes. I need a 30cal(Rem 700 SPS) and 223(Bushmaster SS Barrel). Thanks for any help.

I bought one of the CDNN PBR barreled actions with a 20" fluted barrel and I'll be getting a suppressor soon and was thinking about the AAC 762 SCAR HD. How effed up would it look to have the flutes running right into the back of the mount?

I know there are really good options out of the area, and it may come to that. Right now I would like to know if anyone has a really good gunsmith in the immediate Dallas/Ft Worth area that does top notch work in this area. Would include threading and adding attachment devices and threading...
