Threading tikka fluted barrel?

[Joshuajosh]

Has anybody here cut and threaded a tikka superlite barrel at the flutes? If so do you have any pics? Also looking for gunsmith recommendations around Maryland for this type of work

It should be fine plenty of smiths can cut back a barrel and thread in the flutes. Here’s my superlite barrel cut into flutes with an adapter done by black canyon customs. Kampfield and unknown will also do it.


As far as velocity loss the consensus seems to be around 30fps no matter the cartridge.

I am also interested in this, I just ordered a Roughtech Ember superlite 6.5 PRC and a Mcmillan "Mountain Tracker LR" would love to cut it down to 20 inches or so to help balance my can. I am located in Michigan.
