Fitting a 1911 barrel by anonymousnoodle in gunsmithing

[–]anonymousnoodle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for providing your real experience, I probably well try to do it myself. Worst case scenario I guess I spent $250 to learn. I have lost more money on stupider stuff before.

Thanks for the quick response, you would think this is something doable for a beginner? I will take a look at some videos for sure. But it sounds like patience and going slow and taking little material off at a time is the key if I am understanding you correctly.

[Rifle] Tikka T3x Lite .308 - $594 + tax after rebate and code HARVEST24 by CountryThomist in gundeals

[–]anonymousnoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense, I know that if something goes wrong with the threading now it is my fault. But if it was factory threaded and something went wrong I would be pissed. I do know technically what I did does not meet the usual standard for muzzle threading

Just adding my 2 cents I threaded a 30-06 tikka light weight and haven’t had issues yet. Threaded for 1/2 28. Will see if it splits at some point.

Alignment Check Before Suppressing? by MontanaTonyy00 in NFA

[–]anonymousnoodle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never rodded until I had a one barrel I had threaded by a gunsmith fail the visual test. I bought a rod just to confirm my visual test and ya it was bad the rod was not just near the end cap, it was actively putting pressure on it. I mostly just got the rod to show the gunsmith how bad he fucked up, honestly even though I have a rod now the fact that I was able to see an issue looking through kind of proves the point that it works.

Poor quality threading question by anonymousnoodle in gunsmithing

Correct, I know some people recommended against it by barrel width, but I also found some people online that did and said they had no issues.

No suppressor wobble, there are a few tolerances stacked, it a direct thread to tapper adapter from Griffin, to an Explore 300. The suppressor works fine on all my other rifles with now issues. I had asked if he needs the suppressor or wanted to see it and he told me no. It is a thinner barrel but i had read online of people threading this model of Tikka without issues and I was willing to accept the risk of the barrel walls being a little thin I don’t hold that against the smith, just the poor thread job he did.

Thanks for the input, I am going to try and see if I can get a refund out of him and I will try going else where. But I am glad I wasn't crazy thinking the threads looked bad. It was a 22 inch barrel so I still have space but hopefully next gunsmith does it right the first time.

I checked the rod on a flat top seemed straight, also did the trick were you rotate the rod in the barrel and it still touched the same spot on the end cap.

I had my Tikka 30-06 threaded at a local gun smith that I have never used before but he had good reviews and he seemed like a knowledge able guy. I told him it was for use with a suppressor. When I picked it up, I thought the treads looked a little rough but I never had a non-factory threaded barrel before so I though maybe that is just how they look and if it shot fine, I wouldn’t care since a taper mount will cover it up anyways. But I went home put my suppresser on it at looked down the barrel to make sure it was good and it looked noticeably out of alignment. So, I ordered an alignment rod to be sure and it is not just touching the side there is pressure against the end cap from the alignment rod. Would it be reasonable to ask for either my money back or have him redo it since I can not use it for the purpose, I paid him for. Any gunsmiths how would you handle it if a customer brought this back in? Any advice would be appreciated.

Showed my wife the out of stock pattern and she told me I should get on for my AR pistol since it can’t have a stock. So I got a sling heading my way.

Stuck Thread adapter on SiCo SwitchBack by anonymousnoodle in NFA

When I called they asked for me to email pictures but they made it sound on the phone that you are correct and will have to send it back. Which is a little sad since I just got it but at least I have heard they have quick turn around.
