    Speak to the fellahs at GC in Richmond. If the shop ihas the same facilities as up here they will do the job for between $75 and $100 if you buy a suppressor from them.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    They may want you to return the favour somehow though.

    Don't quote me but pretty sure they have to send it to chch for threading.
    Might be worth talking to Nigel in at Nelson hunting and fishing , he machined a suppressor bush for me and has a lot of gear and loves doing the gunsmithy thing....he might , might be able to help.

    A good hacksawing guide can be had from two screw hose clips mounted 1mm apart.

    Btw, keep the cut off part, may come in handy as a SG insert.

    Gunworks os about $75 somewhere...Dont worry about freight from Blenheim if you are busy as I travel that way every now and then...

    My Brother knows someone up your neck of the woods that does it, but not sure what he charges...If freight is involved now, it is usually more than the threading....

    We are doing them a favour. We are taking the heat off them since becoming public enemy no1 allowing them to carry on on their merry little way
