Barrel threading needed - Before Xmas

[Sticks]

I have three Howa 1500 barreled actions, 20" 6.5mm heavy barrel, that need 5/8-24 threading for muzzle devices done. I still have to bed them, and sight in, and all before Xmas.

I know what is involved, and am having a hard time finding someone that can get this done in less than the "3-5 weeks" gun shops and smiths are quoting.

Anybody here an accomplished machinist or know a place/person that can do a proper threading, concentric to the bore, and not rape me for $125 per?

Live in Denver, and will travel anywhere within 150 miles to deliver.

If you’re willing to ship, LongRifles in sturgis, SD does top-notch work.

I ordered a barreled action on Tuesday, and it's already shipped.

I have a friend just south of Parker who does all of my barrel work.
Great guy. He’s a former 18C and trained gunsmith.
Has his own onsite shop.
He’ll do a great job for you.
He said to give him a call.

Dave did a top notch job on the three rifles. Going to be taking him one more to get done.



The three bolt action rifles.

He does bedding also, which I planned to do myself, and he gave me some pointers on inletting.

I’m glad everything worked out well for you Sticks.
Dave is one of the good guys out there in the gun business.

noice! how about a barreled 9mm AK action? i was gonna send it out to someplace in dallas, but i would prefer to drop it off localy, or maybe even breath sweat nothings into his ear while he worked on it (no homo)?!?!?

Give Dave a call and mention that you heard about him here.
He cut down and rethreaded my 9mm Sig MPX barrel. Came out great, no problems.
