Thread: Barrel threading for suppressor

What Stretch said. Just had one done by dpt last week. First class job and turnaround was less than a day.

Cheers, think i'll look into DPT.
Did they re-crown your barrel? I see they say they do this when threading and not sure what the reason is?

IF they take any length off, then recrowning is required. If they're only threading without shortening, then decrowning probably not necessary. But then, I'm not a gunsmith.

We re-crown all barrels we thread.
The live center sits against the crown while thread so that could cause damage to the existing crown, so a re-crown takes care of that.

Do all the other suppressor fitters do this? Yours is the only website that says you do, or do they use other methods of threading?

I have no idea. What are your worries on having your crown redone?

Not necessarily worried, more just interested into whether other places do it or not.
I suppose there is risk of stuffing it up and accuracy goes to shit, not that I'm suggesting you would stuff it up.
In some ways could improve accuracy if the rifle had a sub-par crown from factory.
