| I want to thread and attach a flashhider to my post ban. Can I do this myself or should I be sending it out and if so, to who? I thought I read somewhere about people renting a muzzle threader. Can someone point me in the right direction? THanks |

I have read that you can thread an AK barrel yourself but I dunno about an AR15. I need to have one too. The thing is, mine is an HBAR and I thing it may need to be turned down before threading and since I don't have a lathe, it'll probably have to be sent out. ADCO doesnt charge much for the service and they seem to have a quick turnaround time. |
+1 I had my HBAR Carbine done by ADCO a couple weeks ago... I'm in Ohio, too, so shipping times were minimal (one day each way), but they only had the upper two days, I think. Either way, I had it back within 5 business days. I couldn't believe it... The Bushmaster looks a bit better with that Phantom 5C2 on it, too.

Well, lets check their website and see: www.adcofirearms.com/shopservices.cfm |
No - unless you are and experienced machinist, and have a lathe with threading capabilities, this is an operation best left to a gunsmith/machinist. |
| I wouldn't try it yourself. At least i know I'd screw it up, but you may be different. Lots of people mentioned ADCO, I have never had experience with them. I just gave my BM 16" Hbar to my gunsmith and told him to thread and install a flash suppressor to it, cost like $80 for the threading though, dunno if that is expensive compared to adco. So I guess my point is you can prolly get it done locally and correctly. |
