DPT Threading Photos

I am just getting my life in order to get my hunting rifle up to the North Island and then to DPT for suppressor purchase and threading. Does anyone have any photos of threading jobs by DPT, particularly the crown and how the supplied thread protector comes out?

It is a 270win Howa 1500 with a sporter barrel about 21.5”. My intention is to shorten it to 20”, and thread 9/16-24 for a Mk2 Overbarrel with a stainless baffle. I have 0.635” on barrel thickness at 20” so open to suggestion if there are better thread sizes to consider.

I had tru flite do one of mine the work was top grade. With the thread cap on youd think its straight barrel, cant even tell theres a cap there

Both my current rifles were done by the smith that built them so I can’t give example photos however dpt have done nearly all of my others and they have all being out standing

I’ve had about half a dozen rifles threaded by dpt, always a first class job.

I have a few done by dpt also and all have been excellent jobs . The crown is nice and shiny I'm sure it makes it easier to clean the crap off that builds up there after shooting with suppressor on. I will probably stay with dpt if I get any new gear also .

Do they reblue (atleast cold blue) the steel where the threads were?

And does anyone know if you can choose a crown type, my preference is to recessed crowns. I’ll get in touch with them Monday either way.

We generally don’t tend to reblue and leave that to the customer.

I should add I'm very happy with the results, both aesthetically and functionally.

Very happy with the work they did on my rifle. Done 6 years ago. Made my own thread cap because I can.

Hey Ollie,
There is a couple of gunsmith here in Blenheim if you still live here. No need to send to DPT. Just buy suppressor and take your set up to the local guy

Hi Daniel, yeah still here (well went away and came back). I’m tossing up sending it to Chris Murphy, who always seems to do a tidy job!

Friwi is a bloody perfectionist, which is a common theme at DPT by all accounts. The angle at which the crown is cut when using a suppressor is important, it helps reduce build up of powder deposits.

It would save the hassle of sending.

Local is always easier

For a quick update, I got my rifle suppressed by @DPT and they did an outstanding job! I’m quite detail oriented and definitely a perfectionist, so I was probably a frustrating customer for Rick and the team.

I specifically wanted a recessed crown machined when they shortened the barrel and was expecting to find something minor that only I would ever notice but would still irritate me…but I was wrong… the threading and the crown are absolutely flawless and the thread protector is really tidy as well.

Massive recommendation to the team at DPT! Now the dream of enjoying shooting my 270win and without being antisocial, can become reality.

you will wonder how the hell you ever put up with it unsuppressed....... difference is HUGE.... to extent that once ever year,just fire one round without suppressor,just to remind yourself how much better it is.... one is enough,my ears ring for hours LOL.
