SAVAGE HMR Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) Evening gents, I'm wondering if anyone in the Edinburgh or Scottish Borders area has the ability to thread a barrel for me to a half inch U.N.F. I picked up the rifle today from my R.F.D. and at the same time enquired about getting the barrel threaded and was told that it's certainly doable only I wouldn't get the rifle back till after the new year! I know there's a lot of guys on here thread and re-crown their own barrels due to having the right knowledge, tools and engineering experience. Unfortunately I have none of the before mentioned qualities but if anyone out there lives in the Edinburgh or Scottish Borders areas and has the experience needed and fancies some cash in hand work P.M. me with details.

peck Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 I would be very careful if i were you about someone doing a diy job on it, recrowning a barrel needs doing very precisly or you could end up with a barrel that does not shoot well at all. Have some patience and get it done profesionally by a qualified person. I know it will take some time to get it done but do it once and do it correctly.

Billy. Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Try the yellow pages/internet for a CNC milling and metal working company near you. I get mine done for £30 and it's a one hour turnaround. Just don't forget to get your barrels reproofed before you sell it or you'll be breaking the law.
