Thread: Chopping a barrel

Arround $100 in Auckland
$100-150 depending on the shop or smith used

I paid $80 the other day

A good hacksawing guide can be had from two screw hose clips mounted 1mm apart.

Btw, keep the cut off part, may come in handy as a SG insert.

Gunworks os about $75 somewhere...Dont worry about freight from Blenheim if you are busy as I travel that way every now and then...

My Brother knows someone up your neck of the woods that does it, but not sure what he charges...If freight is involved now, it is usually more than the threading....

They may want you to return the favour somehow though.

We are doing them a favour. We are taking the heat off them since becoming public enemy no1 allowing them to carry on on their merry little way
