[ARCHIVED THREAD] - barrel threading

Posted: 4/20/2009 9:32:05 PM EDT

I have a Colt ar that I bought during the ban in 2000, the barrel was not threaded and now I want to thread it. Problem is that the diameter of the barrel is much larger than the standard die I am wanting to use. Does this have to be lathed down, or what is recommended?

Have a gunsmith familiar with properly threading barrels do the work...you will be MUCH happier with the results.

Adco wiill turn it down to your desired dimension, and then re-park it just like new

Good question. Ask these folks for advice: ADCO, they'll know.

Try ADCO, I need to have the same done to mine and have heard only good things about them.

I'll be the 4th to say,
Send it to ADCO!!!

They just did one of mine...Good price and fast turn around.

They are the best.

Another +1 for ADCO. Got mine back yesterday from being threaded. Beautiful job. 12 days from me mailing it to getting it back. Don't hesitate to use them!

As you've seen, most here recommend ADCO.

You may also want to check with CLE for their de-Clintonizing special.
