I just received my Mark II barrel back from Dallas Shooting Supplies. I exchanged emails with Morgan and asked him to thread the barrel, relocate the front sight, and make a thread protector. He did a great job and the price was reasonable.
If you need similar work done, shoot him an email: morgan "at" dallasshootingsupplies "dot" com.

Bottom job looks way better.
In the OP's photos the leading edge of the front sight looks like it needs to be deburred, also the threads look very shallow and not pointed at all. There is also a noticeable difference in the finish of the thread protector vs. the barrel. This may be a good job for the money, but I'd probably be willing to spend more for a more refined effort. |

Bottom job was done by Russell and Bob at AWA, here in Florida. 
On the original post the sight looks like it was cut off and he didn't leave space for the seal that some silencers have inside. If it works for him than good, but if it doesn't it might need additional work. |

'Thats how that picture looks. The threads are pointed and are to AAC specs.
More work pics here 
The other guys thread job is not "more refined", its been coated. Neither the threads or thread protector are black when they come out the lathe, his was coated to match his gun. Quoted:

He didn't specify a Sparrow or similar specs, so will be fine. Quoted:

Pics were taken with an iPhone so quality isn't that great.
But just for clarification... - The front sight was not cut nor does it need de-burring. It was relocated and is in the same condition as when Ruger made it. - The thread protector has subtle "knurling" to aid with grip and reflects the flash differently but is the same color as the barrel in real life. - The threads themselves are GTG. As originally stated, it was quality work for a reasonable price. I'm sure you can find many places that will charge you more for comparable service. |
   This threading for a sparrow (extra cut out for o-ring engagement) was done at ADCO. I have a cz 452 trainer that I want to have threaded (for a ss sparrow) also. The problem is that I want to keep the front sight intact. In order for this to be done I need it sweated off and the barrel turned down so that the sight can be soldered back on further up the barrel to make room for the threads. Who can do this? ADCO said this was a no go. :(
