If you're doing the threading in a lathe, everything should come off.
If you're lapping the receiver, you need it out of the stock, bolt out, and the trigger assembly protected from being bumped or hit. To protect the finish from accidental damage, tape is your friend. |

What Manufacturer is it
There are smiths that will do it with the receiver attached, sans stock and trigger assembly. Depending on manufacturer If your lapping the rings, the rifle will be fully assembled ETA: Do you mean, you want to lap the scope rings, but want to know if you'll have to pull it all apart to get the bbl threaded? Scope will definitely have to be removed regardless of whether or no the smith will leave the receiver on. |

I do it with receiver attached with my gunsmith specific lathe with large through spindle bore diamter, then dialed in on a cathead/spider.
Only reason to totally break it down is if its being done on a lathe thats too small to do it through spindle bore, that done between centers. (I did it this way for years and will never do it again lol)

Cool, thanks for the replies, yes I was talking about lapping the scope rings, so I guess I could always lap them and remove everything to have the barrel threaded.

Thread the barrel first, lap the rings after final assembly.
