Do y'all machine threads for barrels?

 

[RangerPointPrecision]

Yes. We specialize in barrel accuracy and performance including: barrel replacements (match grade, turned), threading, custom machined muzzle brakes, shortening and recrowning, reaming and caliber conversions. Most of our general gunsmith services are listed here with pricing.

Adam, have you ever removed a barrel from a CZ527? I've heard from a reputable and well-established riflesmith it can be quite a challenge.

I could buy a new barrel at $200 for rethread and crown!

It might not be clear enough on the pricing page. That $200 threading fee is for a Marlin lever action, which requires full gun disassembly, removal of the barrel, and shortening of the magazine tube, not to mention repositioning the front sight. For all that work, $200 is pretty reasonable. Most bolt actions can be threaded for much less without barrel removal.

I believe your 'smith is correct. My understanding is that barrel removal is exceedingly difficult. But we have not done it ourselves. We've done bedding and trigger work on CZ centerfire rifles, but most of the work we've done is on the rimfire rifles and 75 type pistols.

But would the new barrel come threaded and crowned?

Thanks Adam. Reason I ask is that I had my 527's barrel cut down and re-crowned. By the naked eye, it appears to me that the muzzle is now not square to the barrel. He also put a target crown when I specifically asked for recessed crown. I know he did all of this without even removing the barreled action from the stock. I should add that this is not the same 'smith I mentioned in my previous post. I need to get this issue resolved, and may opt for threading/thread protector.

Welcome

It sounds like you are offering something that has been missing here for so long. A reliable place to get barrels threaded is a huge step.forward.

Welcome aboard!!

I did not see a price on your website for pistol trigger jobs.

Got a CZ-75B that has a real bad trigger. Had work done before by a CZ dealer near you the helped the DA, but the SA still sucks. Any idea about a price to smooth that out? (It is not an omega and bright Stainless, so any visible replacement parts would have to match original.)
