    Our personal recommendation when people ask us to thread rifles, if it is being threaded for a new suppressor, get the suppressor maker to thread it. If you want a DPT, get DPT to thread the rifle. If you want a Gunworks can, get Gunworks to thread it. The reasoning behind this is if there is a problem later then the rifle goes to the company that did the thread and the suppressor so they have to fix it.

    We have had situations where a thread and the can did not completely match (Not our threading or our can). One issue was the can was not 100% lined up with the bore. Suppressor make stated not their problem it was because the thread was off centre, where the person who threaded it said everything was straight and that the can was not made right. Customer was the loser in this case and shelled out for a third party to fix what should be under warranty as no one would accept fault. If you get the suppressor and threading done by the same company there is no argument and warranty responsibility issues are clearer.

    Most guys set up to make suppressors will also do threading (If they don't, then they damn well should) and I would expect all do it by removing the action from the stock. I dont know of anyone that needs to remove the barrel.
