Barrel threading around Acworth / Cartersville area

[Trader805]

Hello fellow ODTer’s

Anyone have any suggestions for getting a Ruger 10/22 rifle barrel threaded around the Acworth or Cartersville area?

What is the barrel (make, model, etc.)?

I can do it at TruPrep in Marietta, but I would have to see the barrel and take measurements. As inexpensive at threaded 10/22 barrels are, you may be better off just replacing the barrel.

The 10/22 barrel is held in place by a couple of bolts.

The other complication is that some 10/22 barrels have the fore sight way down right on the muzzle, so when it's threaded, you lose the fore sight - this might or might not matter to you.

For instance, here's a brand new stainless fluted threaded barrel for $140. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1026565149?pid=635835

Here's another for under $120. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1027673665?pid=771202

Cheaper/same price/barely more expensive to buy a match grade barrel that's already threaded and has tighter tolerances and better cut chamber.

I use a gunsmith off Kellogg creek. I'll pm you his name and number.

I get this request a lot. Just buy a new barrel, cheaper then paying to threading the original.
