Hello,

I need to have a Remington 700 barrel threaded. There are a few places around here that can do it (Rainier Arms and West Coast Armory), but I wanted to ask around for recommendations.

Thanks,

JRC

You have any precision rifle builders in your area? Muzzle threading is pretty easy and all of the builders should be able to do it.

Are you looking to install a brake or are you looking for a suppressor mount? If you're going the suppressor route i'd recommend one of the more reputable guys (ADCO, Rainier) as they will thread concentric to the bore. I would also contact the suppressor mfg and see if they have any particular threading requirements.

I used this guy named Morgan Richey to do my M&P15-22. He did not need to remove the barrel from the upper to accomplish it, which saved me big bucks over ADCO. I don't have the special M&P15-22 tool to remove the barrel.

EDIT: To be clear, I heard about him on TOS and he seemed highly regarded. I don't know the guy, not affiliated, etc. I plan to send him a G17L barrel shortly to thread for a G34.

EDIT EDIT: Man, I hate to pile on. But some guy decided to make the "K" part of his Dead Air Ghost into a Form 1 suppressor. Morgan made the custom mount. Kinda cool...

If it's really important that it is perfect, I only send my bolt gun barrels to GAP. Some others such as Mile High or Sothern Precision rifles also do good work. They all can time your muzzle break or suppressor mount to the shoulder, without the use of shims while your at it.

Plenty of other outfits out there that are capable to do the same quality work, but the 3 I mentioned above I have personal experience with and recommend.

I had GAP thread the barrel on my bolt gun, but for my 9mm SBR build I had ADCO cut and thread the barrel..Great job done by both.

I've used ADCO and class 3 machining. I've had good service from both. Class 3 seems to be a bit faster and is willing to thread about anything. He recently did my cz 452 lux, which required milling back the front sight.
