Has anyone asked Olympic Arms? Not sure how much off the street g'smithing they do, if any, but it's probably worth checking into.

ArmaLite ( the guy I talked to ) said when I sent the upper in for the MB install on my SEBR that they actually had to refinish the bbl.
If I sent it back again for the threading for the FS they just sent me, I'd almost feel guilty...BUT, if there were a way to do it without having to refinish the bbl., I'd consider having it threaded by a good local gunsmith. I'd like to know which way to go on this, or just leave it with the MB pinned in place. |

I appreciate the KRYLON comment, bigern, but I won't do it to this rifle.
 I've used Brownells AlumaHyde(sp.?); Rustoleum High Temp BBQ BLACK; and KRYLON on other guns with good results. |

Interesting, a few months ago one of the Oly guys (I'm pretty sure it was Tom) said they would be threading barrels for a nominal fee. I never did understand if he just meant on post-ban Oly rifles or any make though. |

Yes, I may have sold him short... Brian is a good friend and his work is some of the best in the industry! He is very well known for his work with the Auto Mags and other exotics. |

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was told this. Heck I called up there last week and was told again that they would be threading barrels. And was quoted a price of $50.00 and that included the FH. A asked Tom on Saturday about how long to expect my upper to be gone and he then told me that they were not going to thread post ban barrels, and went on to say that it would be cheaper in the long run to purchase a new barrel then to get it threaded. It sounds like all of the production barrels right now are threaded. |

Better in the long run? What if it's an almost brand new bbl, with only about 250 rounds through it? So I take it that Brian is highly recommended.

I think it's $50 a barrel. I don't know if that includes a flashhider or not. He told me it would take at least a weeks time. I'll have him do one barrel first, then it it looks good, I'll send the rest to be modified. ls |

Wade's price quoted to me was $125 for removal of an Armalite pressed on brake and threading the barrel.

Found this thread linked in the AR discussion forum. Just thought I'd offer another name in the hat for threading barrels.
