Threading a barrel

[tbd1966]

I need suggestions for someone who can thread a bull barrel and manufacture a thread protector for it.

I have acquired a CZ 455 with both the 22 and WMR bull barrels. No irons on the gun so this shouldn’t be complicated but I just don’t know who to trust with the work. This is the first time I’m having anyone turn a barrel so any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Just bear in mind that good work never was cheap...

Unless whoever you take it to has a barrel of thread protectors, get the thread protector online, it will be cheaper. You can find virtually any pitch for under $10 to your door.

Carolina tap and die make threading kits that include a die and die tool and appropriate caliber thread guide button to make sure the threads are in axis with the bore. All you have to do is go slow and plenty of lube the guide button makes it darn near impossible to go wrong. They have video to aid in process. You have to measure your barrel to make sure its diameter is in the parameters of the kit. Clamp in vise and start the process. If you don't have one grain of confidence or mechanical aptitude do not attempt. Although it is easy some main skills are desirable. 70 bucks gets the job done.

For a brake that wouldnt be bad, but id never trust that process for a suppressor.

I can appreciate your apprehension however, after 35 years of a extensive mechanical background I wouldn't give it a second thought. I have used tap and dies on very precise engine work without fail. It being whatever you are comfortable with is completely up to you and I respect that completely. I hope it's not to much more. I just read its a bull barrel and wouldn't fall under the diameter requirements. Same deal I have with my barrel. It falls slightly over the limit. I have a Wilson Combat Super Sniper 6.8 SPC barrel that doesn't have threads and I am in the same boat. If they have to disassemble the gun to complete the process then it's gonna cost. Unfortunately. Uggh!

My luck the barrel would get damaged and ruin a perfectly accurate piece. I think I will leave it alone. Recoil is light and I don't run suppressors.

Then you should know how easily a die can be off center and completely ruin a part. You can try it, I'll throw mine on the lathe and be within a few thousands of center. Dies leave way to much room for error for something as tight as a suppressor.
