My buddy is a machinist and we are going to try to thread my barrell.  He wanted to know what the hardness was??  any ideas?   It's a Bushmaster V-match barrell.

I  do alot of threading and re-profiling of barrels, i use carbide inserts on my cutting tools.  If you are just going to do one or two barrels a properly ground and honed  high speed steel  threading tool will work fine. I have not done a rockwell  test on a barrel ( i do have the equipment to do it) i think it's about the mid to high 30's RC (not very hard) HTH  PATRIOT ARMORY 07 FFL
