I'm taking my MT6601 to a local smith in a few weeks to get the A2 treatment. I am scrounging up parts right now.
I bought this rifle back in the ban days and put on the pictured compensator. It appears the set screws dug in (or were drilled in, can't remember) past where the threading would be. So these will be visible after the threading unless something is done. What are my options? What should I ask him to do? Can he turn down the barrel where the marks are and re-park? Should have the barrel cut?

Quoted: Quoted: Cutting threads over those marks shouldn't cause a problem. Well, I measured and I think the threads will no go far enough to cover up the marks. That's what has me concerned... Are you talking about the thread depth or the length of them going down the barrel? Either way, what you put on it afterwards should cover the marks you are concerned about.  |

It will be just fine as the turning to reduce the diameter to .500 prior to threading will make them magically disappear. Nighthawks specs that he kindly provided are standard fare for an AR so that is what you get unless you state otherwise. No worries eh! |
