When I was doing gunsmithing I was not required to have a manufacturing license.A regular 01 FFL was that was required.That was ten years ago.
any body threading barrels for muzzle breaks. could do it for silencers too.

Looking for a Hensly &Gibbs #258 any thing from a two cavity to a 10cavityI found a new one from a member here
Yea Knights gun works on 190 maby 6 mi east of woodville
He used to be at 4 S shooting sports ??? Somthing like that? His brother Gaylon Knight owns it.you can check their also. It's at the old Dairy Queen on 190 west just past the hospital.
I can't remember Gaylons brothers name? He dose great work but he tends to be flighty. I would use him,but I can't recommend him.use at your own risk.

I don't know what that guy was trying to do. it got too painful to watch. I just set them up indicate the barrel in in two places. or hold it between centers on my 9" south bend and chase the threads. no problem at all holding it tight.

Remington can not do it because they are a production shop.
anybody that is a machinist or tool maker can do the job on a lathe. you are not going to do the job with a die ad die holder by hand.
I am retired own my own machines and shop. I don't have the overhead . but I would still have to have $100. looking at the job I would say one hour setup to clean up. that is if I did not have to take the rifle out of the stock .
with most lathes now set up is a breeze. Punch in a program you have saved and cut. Even on an old lathe with set up my neighbor did my 10/22 in a half an hour. that was set up and all. If it takes you an hour to cut a one inch thread even with setup you must be having a few cold ones while doing it. I'm not a machinist. I worked as a millwright for 10 years and do have some lathe experience though so this aint my first rodeo. I know if at work I asked someone to cut a one inch thread and it took them an hour id be asking questions. You talk overhead. That is true in a big operation but where talking about mom and pop businesses popping up with the popularity of silencers. There will be many doing them that have a small lathe out in there garage. No overhead and how many can you do with one carbide cutter? LOTS. So material is about nothing. Like I said too if you are going to a good sized established machine shop they have lathes with computer controls cut time drastically and that once the program is in a inexperienced machinist can do it. There are only a few suppressor thread sizes. Ive yet to see a silencer sold here with metric threads. Saving 4 programs on a computer controlled lathe would cover about 90 percent of the work your going to do. Keep in mind to a small operation by a guy just wanting to make a bit of pocket money could specialize in just one or two different guns. Say cutting threads on 22lr and 223s which are the same. Cutting one inch of threads on a barrel isn't rocket science. Its a simple job anyone with a lathe can do. Typical shop isn't going to do one barrel its going to wait till it has say 4 1022 barrels to do at the same time. Do you really want me to believe that knowing a guy can buy a brand new ar15 today for 400 bucks that a 100 dollars worth of that gun is the threads on the barrel. Ill leave this post now. Seems I hurt the feelings of a few machinist
