Just wondering what your current turnaround is on a simple cut/thread/crown.

Precision 6mm arc barrels are in short supply. Especially in shorter lengths. I'm planning on buying longer ones and just sending them in to get chopped.

Also do you guys offer bead blast for stainless?

Sweet.

One other question.

Some of the barrels I'm looking at are fluted, I've never had a fluted one cut down. Outside of cosmetics, is there any other reason it would be a bad idea to cut and thread a fluted barrel? The cut would be in the flutes themselves

If its just cosmetic I dont care. I'm trying to get some accurate barrels without an 8 month wait.
