Who to cut and recrown a Tikka Barrel?

[Stud Duck]

Who have you successfully used in the past to cut and recrown a Tikka barrel?

I’ve heard good things about Kampfeld. I don’t have any experience with any gunsmith, but I have a couple Tikka barrels I plan to get cut down and will probably use him.

I’ve used Silencer Central for a couple of rifles without any real problems. I will probably have Kampfeld do my next one.

The first one is kinda scary to do. After that though...

Anyone.

If fast turnaround is critical, ADCO in Ohio.

Any competent gunsmith local to you should be able to do it.

Therein lies the problem.

You don't have a single good gunsmith locally or within an hour drive? Cutting, crowning, and threading a barrel is basic gunsmithing. If they have a lathe, more times than not, they should know what they are doing.

Mike at Alpine Rifles, awesome work

I’ve sent a couple to silencer central with no issues. 2-3 week turn around. I’ll be sending a couple more soon.

I had Kampfeld cut two superlites to 18” thread them and add a flared adapter to one of them. Turned out great.

Lot of places don’t. A couple years ago I had a local “gunsmith” do a muzzle thread for me. They even managed to do a muzzle thread improperly.

Damn.... My pops is a gunsmith by trade. I guess I was spoiled to some extent as a kid. Sucks to see that trade go down the drain.
