Title: Barrel threading
Post by: livin4fishin on April 04, 2023, 05:28:20 PM: I'm looking to see if there's someone near me to thread an AR barrel to take a suppressor. I've got a rock river bull barrel that I was considering to get threaded for a suppressor. Anyone near me I should try to contact to see what my options are? I know it's probably easy cheaper to just buy another upper that's already threaded. Any leads? Live in Mason county.

Also, would prefer someone that could make a "cap" for it to cover the threads when the suppressor isn't installed.

What did you use them for? Rifles? Pistols?

Heavy barreled AR and a couple of bolt actions…
