Who is the best guy to thread a barrel (Austin)

[tap&rack_TXinfidel]

I have a rather tricky barrel threading job that needs to be done. Is everyone in agreeance that Hank is the man for this? The gun is a ruger SR556c and the flash hider is built INTO the 14.5in barrel making it 16. It is not "pinned", it is part of the barrel. I need it cut down threaded and perm attach the new AAC Brake I ordered. I'm not interested in having to form 1 this rifle.

Dreadnaught could do it and you won't have to wait forever.

Has anyone dealt with Mark Pharr of Tumbleweeds Custom Rifles? I think he's in Round Rock. That is where I plan to take my barrel/ project.

That is pretty basic machine work on a AR. Nothing tricky about it. Should be no more than $30-40 for the threading, $20 for the pinning, and about a half hour of bench time to disassemble-reassemble. Any time a barrel is shortened, though, some test firing with "normal" loads is a good idea since the shorter barrel changes the working pressure of the gas system
