Ted at Ritten Precision in Houma can also do it. He builds some killer precision rifles.

PM me if you want his cell or shoot him a pm here on the forum.

Ted has built a great rifle for us in the past and I know his work is 1st class but he is too busy to help us out this. So looking for someone else

Did my first last week. Threading with the lathe is a lot of fun. I have done quite a few aks with a die (adjustable split die works well). Really need to buy 1/2 28 and 5/8 24 dies to do the ar stuff.

That might be ok for a flash hider but please do not let anyone put a suppressor on that. They will likely have a baffle or end cap strike.

Suppressor threads need to be single point cut to the proper specifications. Even if a die were to cut them perfectly perpendicular with the bore, they would most likely be too small or too large for a such a specific tolerance.

So who in BR is reliable enough to thread rifle barrels for suppressors?

Not to mention the threads will be cut roughly concentric with the OUTSIDE diameter rather than the bore, and AKs are bad for having quite off-center bores.

With Saigas, it depends on how much vodka Ivan has had before lunch.

With a lot of Saigas I've seen, you can look at the muzzle and visibly tell one side is thicker than the other. Kinda funny.

Contact Freeman Machine works here on the site. He does this a lot and does great work. He's north of you a little, but not a bad drive.
