How bad is this gunsmithing?

Schlosser Gunsmithing in Newport/Cincinnati

I'm new to barrel modifcations so I'm looking for opinions on this. Hoping this isn't a case of "if you have to ask..."

It's a T3x stainless in 6.5cm and I was going to put a TBAC suppressor on it. I took it to a local gunsmith to have it cut / crowned / threaded.

I left the TBAC flash hider there so they could do a fit check. When I picked it up, they had it on slightly more than hand tight so I mistakenly left without removing it. Got it off at home and it looks like this. Is this as bad as I think it looks?

Looks like he forgot the cutting oil.

It’s bad.

Have you cleaned and wiped it down with acetone or alcohol?

 

[Lawnboi]

That’s real bad. If it’s 16” they owe you a barrel.

worse actually

 

[Sundodger]

I would demand a new barrel, and never use them again, that's terrible.

I like my machinists to be moderately OCD, and it's clear this one is not.

Not only is it bad, they knew it was bad and hid it. I'm sure they justified it by thinking you will leave the adaptor on and it will be fine, but it's not.

I have not. Running my finger along it the threads and 'crown' it doesn't feel like wiping would do much.

Did he forge those threads..damn Also hard to tell is it even crowned?

I’d demand a new barrel. You shouldn’t have to compromise and cut inches off.

It got cut to 17", so there could be just enough for someone else to redo.

It's not easy to get perfect flanks.....but it's harder to plow that deep using dull tools.

That thing had to be scary to watch cut.

I meant to ask that in my first post, is there a easy way to tell if it's crowned? It didn't look like it to me either

 

[waspocrew]

Yikes, that’s bad.

 

[MuleyFever]

I dont know a thing about cutting threads but I know that looks bad.

 

[General RE LEE]

If it screws on and off and shoots well, move on and don't use them again.

But I'm sure you chose 17" for a safety buffer in case you damaged the threads or crown. Don't let them take that from you.

Well, a rare instance of everyone having the same opinion on it.

Thanks all for your replies. Definitely won't be using them again

This situation gives me anxiety. I feel very sorry for you. There is a very low chance that this guy will be willing to make this right. Good luck.

That does look like shit. Are you in Utah by chance?
