Barrel threading?
I was considering getting a suppressor for a rifle . This would be my first NFA item. Can a smith just simply machine/thread the end of a barrel to accept such item? If so, anyone in particular I should use?

Re: Barrel threading?
Yes, any competent gunsmith WITH a lathe can do the work. It can be done with dies as well, but a lathe job is cleaner and more refined. If its a carbon steel barrel, you'll probably want the threading and machined area blued to help protect it from rust.
A good machine shop can do it too if you remove the barrel(would require re-headspacing then after).
Hopefully someone else can supply you with a smith or machinist in your area.

I had a marlin 25n barrel threaded by Pa. Patriot and he seems to be in your neighborhood. Might want to give him a jingle.
If you do the work yourself just make sure that the thread job is concentric to the bore and not the outside of the barrel otherwise you may suffer baffle strikes.
Cheers,
