Gunsmithing Pressed Fit Barrels and threading the muzzle

Re: Pressed Fit Barrels and threading the muzzle

What sort of rifle? I know there was a shop in Arizona that would tread barrels on HK stuff with the receiver still attached.

If a Steyr Bolt gun, then yes, no problems threading the barrel while in receiver. SOme rifles and subguns like the Hk series need barrel removal in most cases as the Cocking tube gets in the way.
