Smith for a chop and thread on mini 14 - pre 580

[Chinookdriver]

Ive called around to a couple smiths and not gotten a great answer yet. Hoping someone here might be able to help out with a suggestion of a good smith that can help me out with the job.

It's an older pencil style barrel (pic below) that I want to cut down and thread in 1/2 x 28

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the suggestion! Do you have any pics of the end result?

Sure



This is a 300BLK 580-series barrel, cut down and threaded to accommodate a Dead Air flash hider. That's the underside - you can see where it's pinned and oriented.

Here's the whole thing, just for reference.

This is another barrel he threaded for me on a Ruger PC Carbine. You can actually inspect the threads in the shot below.

The crud you can see there is my fault. Nice clean threads with a good shoulder.

3-5 month turnaround. Can't seem to catch a break. Thanks for the suggestion

Hey stranger. Most smiths around here are gonna take a while. I'd call Firearms Training Academy in Woodstock and check times, and also D. Wilson Manufacturing in Englewood, CO. You could go the classic route of Accuracy Systems, who specialize in Minis, but I have no idea their turn around time

They're Triple Hex Firearms now and as of a couple weeks ago turnaround time for a barrel cut with p&w was about a month.
