Where to get Cut and Thread?

[Esq]

I'm in Oregon. No experience with gunsmiths. Wanting to get a barrell cut and threaded. Recommendations please. Thx

Any gunsmith in business should be able to cut, crown, and thread a barrel. If you prefer keeping it local I suggest searching for businesses near you, and reading some reviews. If you want to ship it to someone reputable there are a pile of smiths recommended on Rokslide. I suggest Kampfeld Customs, or LRI.

Marc at Spartan Precision has done great work for me.

Shaen, pva, lri, kampfield, and Thunderbeast all have a good number of high quality cut and thread jobs photographed by various members here.

If you're threading for a can not a brake I would be picky about who does that work.

 

[Esq]

Thank you both. Btw I looked locally and we don't seem to have any smith's doing machining. So I'll be sending it out.

That’s what I thought at one time. Last summer I called the biggest local gun shop near me as I knew they’d have a smith. When I talked to him, he said he couldn’t cut or thread barrels. I was shocked.

I used Silencer Central threading service and was happy with the outcome. They send a package with everything to ship the rifle to them, then after threading they ship it back. My suppressor screws on perfectly and the rifle shoots great with it attached.

Barrel Threading – Silencer Central

WE MAKE THREADING PRECISE. We thread rifles for suppressors or muzzle brakes using a single point threading on a HAAS II commercial lathe (CNC), concentric to the bore.

I second this. Super easy, reasonable price and turn around.

I've used LRI and SAC with great results.

I use The Rifle Shop in Bend. He’s cut and threaded 3 barrels for my suppressor. If you’re looking to stay in Oregon give him a call.

Thank you Oregonnewbie. I'd like to keep it local, though I'm about 3 hours from Bend. We get over there a few times a year. It's interesting to me, I've called a # of smith's, some recommended here, and have learned that they are busy and not taking additional work. Seems like there is ample demand and too few quality smiths.

Silencer central 100%. Cost effective, precise, convenient. Not much more I can say

If a gunsmith isn't busy, it's because they suck.

Country custom metalsmithing in NV quoted me a quick turnaround for a chop/thread job recently. Shouldn’t be too hard to find someone.

Where are you located?

 

[atmat]

Silencercentral I’ve heard good things about. I think it’s much more cost effective doing two barrels at once through them.

I'm in Silverton. About 15 miles East of Salem.

I know SC will thread a barrel but do you (or anyone else) know if they will chop it as well?

 

[TheM1DoesMyTalking]

SC says they will cut and crown for $70.

The thing that stands out to me is the service for checking threads/alignment is another $25. Quality should be built into the job, not an add on service. It's not about the cost, they could just increase the price of the thread job by $25, but don't make it an extra. What thread job would I not want to be checked and aligned? I looked into sending SC a barreled action recently and chose a different gunsmith based on this alone. It sounds like other guys have had good results with them still, it's just the principle of it for me.

I always thought that they just threaded, not cut. This is good to know. I agree with you on the points about checking threads and alignment.
