Is there anyone in the greater fox valley area that does barrel threading. I have a few ban era barrels I would like to get done.

Send an IM to member efxguy.  He might be able to do it or he may know who can do it locally.

Here is an Illinois gunsmith that I have had cut, thread, pin and weld a couple of barrels. Granted he is not local to you, but an alternative to ADCO.

John is awesome; i would recommend contacting him. He has done several barrel cut down for me and usually the total turn around time (if shipped usps priority) is no longer than a week. Its quite common for him to ship the barrels out the next day after he receives them.

Here is a link a man who has done hundreds of barrels. Two of them were mine. Send your barrel and $65.00 to him and you will get back with a very professional job done. 17 pages of discussion and counting right here on AR15.com              http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_7_143/1029861_Barrel_Threading_sale__50__PTR_91__Tavors__Augs__Scars__etc__Scorpion_Evo_can_Mounts__55_Shipped.html

That seems strange to me. He has always promptly replied to mine. I always put my email address at the bottom of my messages. He usually just reply's on the same email I send him. Try him again. I like the convenience of having the finished barrel delivered to my doorstep. I will be getting one back tomorrow. I know that because he is real good at sending me a tracking number when he ships.

This. Efxguy is a member here. He's in the Dundee area. I have had several barrels done by him. Excellent work and decent prices.

E-mail or IM him. He'll get back to you.

My barrel came back that I sent to Morgan Ritchie. He shortened,threaded and re-crowned it. Real nice job and not a mark on the barrel from the lathe chuck.

I just saw this thread, I apologize for not noticing sooner. I've been reading the site on my tablet as a guest.

Anyway, the best way to reach me is by email rather than IM.

Let me know your barrel needs and thanks everyone for the positive reviews.
