chris -
sorry, C2 shorthand for Class 2 manufacturer.....(C3 for Class 3 dealer). that's why
I'm so lucky. he can build silencers, take my NFA gear and modify, etc. He's taken
my 308 bolt gun and threaded, AR7 and threaded, the Ruger MkII, my FAL.....
converted my HK SP-89 to accept A3 telescoping stock.....
bottom line is as folks have said above... as long as the machinist has success-
fully performed threading of barrels for suppressor use (not just muzzle brakes
or flash hiders), then they may actually know and have experience with the
task and the precision and alignments required.
Gemtech will thread for about $100 which is what I gladly paid my C2 since I
avoided the risk of shipping (and theft and loss).
Ivan is on the Recommended Dealers List on the Bower's board.....give him
a try, since he's near you. Ask if he threads.
