So I just bought a pristine USMC marked 40x. I paid 1000 for it. I took it over to the gunsmith who refused to thread it cause it was so nice saying it would kill the value. Will it really hurt the value that bad? I have a suppressor I want to put on it for quiet practice.

Re: Killing a 40x value
I say find another gunsmith. It is your firearm. If you want it threaded then he should thread it for you. On the same token, if he does his job correctly and does a good thread protector, you shouldn't even be able to tel it has been threaded.

Re: Killing a 40x value
It will lessen the value for a true collector of vintage 40X's; but, if that is what you want and if you are not going to resale it who cares. I understand why you would want to do and I think you are asking the right question but in the end of the day you are the only person that can answer the question...it is what you want to do?

Re: Killing a 40x value
If it bothers you; order another barrelled rcvr for $275 4FS and chop that.

Re: Killing a 40x value
If it's in good condition, don't do it. It is a collector's piece and I would maintain it as is or sell it to a collector and buy another 40x to build on as a platform.
Again, I am assuming it is in great condition.

Re: Killing a 40x value
its your rifle. i would find another gunsmith. its his job to do what u want.
buying another barrel and threading it is a good option though

Re: Killing a 40x value
The USMC marked rifles do bring a premium. If it is in collector condition, leave it alone, it is only going to go up in value in original condition.
You can have it rebarreled keeping the same factory contour so you do not have to open up the barrel channel.
BUT, you run the risk of screwing up the original barrel trying to get it out of the receiver. Search a thread C. Dixon has in the gunsmithing section about 40x rebarrels. Some of them are impossible to get the barrel off of without cutting.
I personally would sell it and get another one to have worked over.
I picked mine up on GB. Freckled with rust, Beautiful stock, no sights, $650 delivered. Sent it off for a complete make over.

Re: Killing a 40x value
Find another gunsmith. It's YOUR rifle, not his. YOU make the decisions. If YOU want it threaded, then have it threaded.
I understand his concern of diminishing the collectors value, and it his place to relay his concern as a gunsmith. After that though, if you still decided to have it threaded, then he should have threaded it for you.

Re: Killing a 40x value
Hey MB,
I am having a hard time understanding something here.
If you knowingly paid premium money for an as you claim "pristine example" of a known collectable, why are you questioning it loosing value if you modify it?
Am I missing something? You either know the answer or your vague on what you bought (at best). There are plenty of people up here that will tell you to mod it, do your own thing or whatever and you know it.
First, any mod, no matter how small will depreciate it. Threading the barrel will be considered much more than a small mod to a collector. The only true collectable worth owning is original condition.
Second, if it is really as you claim "pristine", you can get more than you paid for it with a little patience finding the right buyer.
Third, there is probably someone that will do a trade with you here or on someplace like rimfire central that will get you some cash and what you can mod. That might be a win win situation.
Forth, give me the name of the gunsmith. He has my respect for not being a hack.
Or just have at it. All you do your own thing guys just keep appreciating my rifles.

Just rebarrel it and keep the old barrel to put it back to original. Done.

Re: Killing a 40x value
OP, did it cost $1000 simply because it is a USMC rifle? Or is that the market price for any pristine example?
If you've paid a premium for a rare/collectable/important rifle then the smith is right to at least advise against doing it, if the work will reduce the value/investment you have in the rifle and/or destry something that is in very limited supply and has historic value.
My smith will regularly advise customers on the impact of certain work on the value of classic rifles.
In the end, yes (as others have said) it is your choice.
Whether for historic or financial/resale reasons I'd think twice before you take the plunge.......

I know, your gonna say dont slip......famous last words
He already got an offer from Lone Wolf and thats a nice looking piece he's offering up there..

Re: Killing a 40x value
Ultimately it is your rifle to do with as you please. If you cannot find someone to do what you want to this rifle then that does not mean all those guys are lousy smiths, quite the contrary, I would say the minute you find the man that will do this deed you have found your lousy smith.
The customer is not always right, that is a longstanding misconception. When a smith does a job, that is his reputation he puts on the line and his name is there to be exaulted or dragged through the mud. You hire a professional to tell you what is best, if you are able to tell your professional what is best you didn't hire a professional.
What you seek now is justification through the internet. There will never be a shortage of enablers to tell you "go for it man!"
I would find another gun to monkey wrench on. I wouldn't touch this gun in any manner.

Re: Killing a 40x value
Let me get this right. You paid $1000.00 for a rifle, I have seen others like it sell for $1600.00 and you want to thread it for a suppressor. Take the deal offered above, trade rifles and spare the USMC rifle.

Re: Killing a 40x value
Does anyone make a clamp on thread adapter like the Roedale clamp on muzzle brakes?
Instead of a brake, you could have a threaded extentions to simply thread your can on?
Same fashion as a bloop tube. My bloop tube clamps on my finnfire and it doesnt move and also doent mess the finish up either.
Might be a nifty idea to machine up. An engineer budy of mine ask me becuase he also wants to put a can on his 40x, but refuses to thread it.

Re: Killing a 40x value
So it's some of your opinions that the gunsmith has no right to refuse??? Hell, that's one of the advantages of owning your own business. LoneWolf offered a very fair deal IMO so you'd have a rifle you wouldn't regret altering later on.

Re: Killing a 40x value
I think if the smith wanted to refuse for whatever reason, then he should.
With that said, the 40x with a Broughton, Shilen or Kreiger barrel would be an absolute hammer as that is the configuration that many have used ay the highest level of rimfire bench competition.
Check with Dan Killough and he will recommend a gunsmith. Just using a can doesn't do it for me, I also want it to shoot as well as it does now. Worry about matting the barrel or receiver is very very low risk, but it does exist. But these guns are OLD.
If I hadn't got sidetracked with building a 3-gun AR and had to scope it along with the expense of matches... Mine would be done already. Trust me, having the can just sitting there kills me!

I have 2 40 XB's and a 40 X. All are CMP guns, with certificates and all are US marked. Two have matcfhing bolts and one does not not. I will trade any one of my three, "your choice" for your USMC.
I will pay for shipping on both guns. Your's to me and mine to you. You would have to pay any FFL fees, if any are incurred on your end. There will be none on my end.
If interested, PM me and I'll send pics.
BTW, the guns are not for sale, just looking for something I do not have.

My definition of pristine is a little different
You'll pay a premium for the rollmark but that's
because all the jarheads bid them up - can't really blame them.
I'm a shooter not a collector - I've wrecked better?

Re: Killing a 40x value
Some buds and I bought 52D CMP rifles a while back. One of the guys drilled and tapped both of them for scope mounts. One of the others had a fit about it and the "ruined" rifles. Thing is, the guy with scopes on his 52D rifles is happy as hell and it never bothers him that he did it.
I say just do what you want with yours.
