10/22 barrel Threads

[icp4life162005]

I've never threaded a barrel on a lathe, but I know I would go completely overboard if threading for a suppressor. Make a plug to register in the chamber, and a plug in the muzzle end of the bore instead of indicating on the OD of the barrel, and mounting between centers. The axis through the chamber and bore are more important than the OD. Probably would need/make a custom lathe dog as well. (I have been accused of being OCD on many occasions.)

That being said, any decent job will likely approach the cost of a new threaded barrel. Unless it's a friend who can be trusted to do the job correctly. A contract shop charges like $80-$100/hour.

Yea for a 10/22 and the dozens of barrel companies out there it's so much easier and cheaper to just buy new.

Then build a second rifle with a Brownells receiver lol
