Thread: Suppressor threading

Having recently moved to Auckland I need to cultivate some useful contacts again.
Does anyone have a pet gunsmith or experienced AND competent turner to recommend for threading a barrel fit a rimfire suppressor?

It's a fancy KIDD barrel and I don't want to take any risks.

If you ever pass through hamilton i would suggest cleland engineering

Was considering sending rifle and new barrel and suppressor to Cleland - get some trigger tweaking done too.

I've had good service from Roger Spackman at Sub-Silent Suppressors.
He has a dedicated lathe he uses just for threading barrels.
As a bonus, he is Auckland based. Might be worth talking to him about suppressors while you are at it.

"It's a fancy Kidd barrel so don't want to take any risks" would probably rule out the above option

Did I get lucky with my suppressor from him?

Yes

I can't speak highly enough about Scott Trail at ssrnz, this would be a very simple task for him.

Scott Traill is excellent but of course not in Orkland.
MAE did a superb job of threading on semi 22 for me. Not sure though if they just do threading - my threading was combined with the purchase of on of their suppressors.

Couriering a barrel may be cheaper than driving across dorkland I guess

I wouldn't have a problem driving across Auckland to MAE but certainly wouldn't do the same to get to RR's

If you do not need to get this done in Auckland, then +1 for Scott Traill at SSRNZ

@Friwi at DPT in the Tron.. Very good work

Alan Reid Toolmaking in Ellice Rd, on the shore, done some work for me.
Really happy with his work.
