Thread: Protection for threaded barrel.

Are you f***en serious? Wouldn't sell the cap. As some who is I the market for a suppressor, that shit would make me shop elsewhere out of principle.

This was bout 18mths ago, he may have changed his policy now but he just wasn't interested at the time.

I'll sell you a piece of air hose for $15 and you can buy your own suppressor

I personally wouldnt set up plant to do a one off thread cap, Id feel like I was ripping someone off for the price I would have to charge, just my opinion, he might feel the same.

Well it was no problem for others to make one, DPT, DFMaisey, Cleland Engineering. I thought if you were making suppressors as a main part of your business then you would probably have thread protectors just sitting on the shelf ready to go. Im not the only one that has had a similar experience.

Just a speculation, I just know from my trade some things which appear quick and easy are often not.

Well, if he doesn't stock thread caps then that means he might have to set up plant for a one of of each suppressor he makes.
Which means he has to charge people more for it. And they might feel ripped off for the price they pay.
That s if I follow your logic :-)
The reality might be that he does actually have thread caps in stock but he might not have had that specific thread cap in stock or that he rather sell thread caps only to people who would buy his suppressors and not willing to help people going to the competition.... The advantage of that business politic is debatable...

Id assume he has thread caps already made up for the threads he normally cuts and at the length of the threads he cuts, sounds reasonable to me.

It may also just well be its more lucrative to spend his time selling and threading suppressors than going back and forth over emails trying to figure out what thread and dimensions a guys barrel is when he isnt actually selling them a suppressor, especially if its a thread he doesnt normally work with.

I just try and see things from both sides and give people the benifit of doubt.

Another friends experience, he had two 2506s one was threaded and wearing hardy suppressor. He sold the threaded gun and time went by so he wanted his other threaded because he still had the can. Rang the shop and asked if they would cut and thread the barrel of his other 2506 for their can. NOPE he wasn't buying a new can was the reply.
So he sent it to dpt who did it no problem and ended up with a few other guns to suppress as well. Maybe he is just to busy with a lot of bigger jobs and that is his call. Im in the automotive trade and I know some jobs are to small to bother with if you do have a lot of bigger and more lucrative jobs on the go.
