    Having a barrel threaded

    I assume pretty much any barrel can be threaded. I have a Bison Armory stainless bull barrel with target crown that I LOVE and I'd like to get it threaded for future suppressed use. I assume there's no issue threading a bull barrel? Is there any chance it can be messed up? Would it be cheaper just to buy a new already threaded barrel than to bother with sending this one somewhere?

      As long as it’s a quality thread job, you shouldn’t have any issue at all. Morgan at Class 3 machine does great work and is about as quick and cheap as it gets. Used to be $75, but he may have gone up since.

        My Savage 22-250 was about $100 with a custom made thread protector. I went from 26" to 18".

          Thanks yall, I figured but never thought about having it done before. This one's already 18" so no need to chop just want to thread it.

          I'll try a couple shops in SA first then explore shipping it out. If anybody has recommendations for someone near SA that would be awesome.

            I had a stock shortend at Nagels. A promised 2 week turnaround came in at 2 months after they farmed it out to get it done. I'll never go there again for any work. Durys has a couple of good gunsmith.

              Very good feedback, thank you.

                Morgan at Class 3 Machining is the best around. Extremely easy to deal with and quick turnaround.

                  Dury’s is close and they make some great rifles.

                      True statement, I’ve had Morgan cut 3 barrels for me and the turn around time has always been around a week. I want to say I paid 100 plus shipping on my last barrel. I had it cut, crowned and threaded.

                        Send it to Morgan at Class III. It’ll be faster, cheaper, and a very well know high quality machinist. Not some roll of the dice like a bunch of the local shops.

                          Did you end up finding a place? I'm in the San Antonio area and need to get a rifle threaded as well and would rather not ship it. I think Armed in America near my house was going to charge somewhere around $200, which seemed high to me.

                            Not yet, probably just go to Dury's or send it off to Class III. I have time, waiting on the can anyway.

                              I wasn’t sure about the whole shipping to Morgan at class three but he cut a couple inches off a .308 and threaded and everything was top knotch and quick turn around as mentioned.
