third vote for gunworks....take all your spare cash and go visit the girls in the shop.....lots of goodies to spend it on....

Had my 22-250 done this year at Gunworks was around $400 I think all up including shipping to Rangiora so I could collect on a weekend as Gunworks are a Monday to Friday business

Close too 400 fucking bucks to thread a barrel!?!?!

It takes 15 mins on a good lathe and thats even if you have to grind the tool steel if not a standard thread pitch.

Guessing that's can included? Otherwise it's robbery.

$400 is looking reasonable though after my efforts.

Something not right there. 400 including a suppressor maybe? Miss being in Canterbury as was always handy dropping rifles off to them to have work done and often would pick it up again the same day. Had a squib load ruin the barrel of my little Brno model 2 which was the last time I used them, dropped it off to them and they cut it down to get rid of the bulge in the barrel but it was going to be under minimum length so they cut it down to just over legal length then counterbored the barrel and formed a crown 2 inches inside the barrel, threaded it for suppressor and all up cost me $90

I hope the supp is included. Never known gunworks to rip anyone off. But if just for the thread without supp, that is robbery

Was years ago but from memory it was $65 from gunworks or free if you purchase a can from them too. That would have been 3-4 years ago but I'd say no more than $100 these days
