Cut and thread

[bsisco5]

Who’s cutting and threading y’all’s barrels and what are you paying?

Looking at cutting down a Howa mini. What are the chances the barrel will have to be removed?

Depends on where you are located. I have a local guy. $150

Mind sharing a contact? I’ve checked a couple local shops, middle TN, and they were well above that.

I recently had one done, also in middle TN, and it cost ~$250. I doubt that I'll use that shop again. Nice guys, but that was just too much money relative to what it costs to just buy a vise and swap my own barrels.

I had the same barrel cut and threaded twice after it was initially done. Cost was low enough I don't even remember how much it was. Full barrel, both ends and chamber is $400, used to be $300.

Mr. Big Guns in Huntsville will do it for $125.00. I use Meredith Rifles in Athens, AL, but he is covered up right now.

I had mine done for $130, guy did awesome but by the time you deal with shipping two directions and them having to deal shipping it you would probably be better off paying the $250.

$125 is enough cheaper to halfway pay for a nice meal out on a trip to Huntsville, for us. So, thank you.

OP: one place I haven't actually checked but probably should, is rock creek armory near lewisburg. You might look them up and call/ask if you haven't.

You're welcome. You could also check out Pitts Precision in Taft. A friend recently had some work done by him and was impressed.

I’ll call them tomorrow. Talked to Royal in West Nash and a shop in Lebanon a couple months ago. Don’t remember numbers, but wasn’t impressed with either response.
