Looking for someone to contour and thread a couple of barrel blanks I have, and was wondering if anyone knew where I could send them and have it done without paying an arm and a leg. Thanks

How about an eye ball and a tooth? I thread, chamber and contour barrels daily, what do you think a reasonable price would be?

I don't know about contouring but local guys here charge $50 to $65 to thread (1/2x28 or 5/8x24 - no one will do 16mm metric for me)

Metric requires the lathe gears to be changed. I do a few every month.

John Taylor, what do you charge for 16mm LH to AAC Spec's?

Usually $50 for muzzle threads, I will need the part that screws on to make sure of a close fit, not all threaded holes are the same.
