General Barrel Services | |
| Crown Jobs | |
| Many poor shooting barrels can be traced to problems with the crown. The crown needs to be absolutely perpendicular to the bore. When the bullet leaves the bore, gas is released at very high pressure all the way around the bullet's base. If the crown were uneven, gas would release on one side first and this tends to disturb the bullet just as it sent on it's way downrange. Obviously this will show up as poor accuracy. Try this inexpensive service before you abandon a barrel that seems to be poor shooting. I use a specially ground high relief angle tool that only gets used for crowns and it gets re-sharpened often. The tool is pulled straight out from the bore so that no burrs are created at the end of the bore. The bore-crown junction will be flat, with a radius about half way out on the crown face. This creates a slightly recessed crown job. The crown face will be left unfinished. Picture | |
| Stripped Barrel Crown Job | $50 |
| Populated Barrel Crown Job | $70 |
Shorten Barrel and Crown | |
| This service includes shortening the barrel to any length you specify and re-cutting the crown. The muzzle face will be left unfinished. | |
| Stripped Barrel Shorten and Crown | $70 |
| Populated Barrel Shorten and Crown | $95 |
Barrel Threading | |
| This is the most commonly requested service. The barrel gets mounted in the lathe with a live center in the muzzle. The muzzle gets turned down to the required size and then threads are cut with a single point tool. This ensures that the threads will be perfectly concentric and parallel to the bore. After the threads are done and deburred, a new crown is cut to eliminate the damage caused by the live center. Other shops would consider this a 'precision' threading job. I can cut any commonly used thread specification. The threaded area will be left unfinished. Picture | |
| Stripped Barrel Threading | $95 |
| Populated Barrel Threading | $120 |
Shorten Barrel and Thread Muzzle | |
| This service includes shortening the barrel to any length you specify, barrel threading to any commonly used thread specification and then re-cutting the crown. Machined areas will be left unfinished. | |
| Stripped Barrel Shorten & Thread | $120 |
| Populated Barrel Shorten & Thread | $145 |
| Compensator Indexing | $40 |
| The typical method to index a muzzle device to the barrel
involves the use of peel washers or crush washers. Neither method leaves a
nicely finished look. Select this option and I will index your
muzzle device to your barrel barrel by facing off the rear of the muzzle
device, or by facing off the barrel's shoulder if the barrel will
already be in the lathe for other operations. You must include your muzzle device with the barrel in order to use this service. | |
| Barrel Band Journal | $50 |
| This service is to turn a journal or band on your stripped barrel down to any
diameter you specify. This is typically needed when you want to mount a smaller front sight base or gas block. Machined areas will be left unfinished. | |
| Permanently Attach Muzzle Device | |
| This service includes drilling through the installed muzzle
device and into the barrel, installing a blind pin, welding over the end of
the pin. This does not include barrel threading. This service is
required to convert a barrel shorter than 16" into a legal 16"+ barrel length. Welds will be
finished with oil to protect from rust. Picture | |
