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.

I think gunworks may do it the same way but apart from them I have no idea.
We do thousands of rifles this way each year, so I wouldn't worry too much about it if I was you.
