Thread starter CrawBogle Start date Sep 25, CrawBogle Active Member. Can anyone give me an idea of the cost to have a barrel threaded to accept moderator? It doesn't need length reduced. Markfox Well-Known Member. Click to expand That gives me some idea.

Many handguns can be ordered this way as well, or drop-in, suppressor-ready barrels can be purchased. In most cases, factory threaded barrels are precise enough for mounting a suppressor. It is illegal in California, as threaded barrels on a pistol are considered an assault weapon feature. However, since your talking a bull barrel, you may have to get one custom made or modified to fit your gun.

You would do that in conjunction with getting your barrel threaded, to make sure the threads and size fit. This includes a thread protector and any assembly or disassembly needed. This service also covers handgun barrels that need standard threads. Threaded barrels are just that and the threads stick out past the slide to allow you to screw on a compensator or a suppressor.

Match barrels are standard or bull barrels that are made to tighter tolerances so they are more accurate than the regular production barrels. Frame mounted compensators for semi-auto pistols are CA legal, because they do not require a threaded barrel.

Can I use one silencer for multiple firearms? It might be true, but c'mon just say you do it right instead of seeing who can quote the smallest number. Hired Gun uses the same lathe we do, and its a damn good lathe capable of very precise work.

I believe him when he says he indicates to. But I know for a fact there is work being done on light ass little lathes that are not capable of holding work in the. Yet people brag about it. Re: Cost of barrel threading With my turning center I use C collets in an indexable collet chuck made by Dunham.

Collets run between and each. For barrels I've never gone above psi. I turn my cylinders at rpm with flood coolant. Coolant pressure is psi. I thread at rpm again with flood coolant. If dicks are meant to be measured then what the hell. I've checked TIR total indicated runout 6 ways from Sunday. The programming has planned interruptions at multiple intervals during barrel fitting to inspect runout.

It's documented on all our build sheets. Chambers never run more than. They sure come out nice. No rings, no chatter ever! That tells me the chamber is pretty dern near a perfect mirror image of what the tool is doing.

Let it be known my wiener is quite small, but I'm learning how to use it. Jan 17, 3, 17 Greenwood, Ca. Re: Cost of barrel threading if your work is moving when you cut the tenon, i'd certainly be asking myself why. Re: Cost of barrel threading and one more thing, a good machinist should know how to use their machine whether it be a sub 1k lb manual machine or a 10k lb cnc machine.

Im talkin. Temperature can move things more than that. When I see numbers posted with four or five 0's past the decimal point, I cant help but roll my eyes. But I dont have the knowledge you two do. I believe there are those with your knowledge that share my opinion, even if they don't voice it like I do. You must be a millionaire. The main point of my post is that I wonder how tight peoples tolerances really are.

Im not calling anyone a liar that says they indicate to. I just wonder if their parts are staying that tight while they cut them. Re: Cost of barrel threading Isnt there in fact a thread where you are agreeing with what I said? About how indicating in to. Pretty sure there is None of that matters, but machine temp definitely does?? Im done dude. Said what I had to say. Re: Cost of barrel threading Keith, With a turning center, mill, etc the machine changes from cold to operating temperature.

With my lathe its about a. A great deal of this is determined by the height of the spindle over the bed. More height equals more growth due to the shear mass of the casting. With a mill you have similar and additional forces at play. My Haas will pick up about. The layer of oil on the ways does this. Box way machines are notorious for this as thats all that supports the work surface. My machine has linear raceways so it's not so much. The trade off is box ways offer the most rigidity of any machine.

Additionally the spindle cartridge will move around a bit as it warms up. The drawbar is spring loaded and it'll pull the entire assy up in the taper a pinch more. It's likely going to be stuck and require a few whacks with a brass hammer in the morning. What's happening is the taper cools and clamps down around the tool holder.

This by the way is a great way to hold onto tools. Several tool makers now use induction heaters to swell a tool holder for clamping the tooling. Works great in this sense but is a pain in the ass on older CNC machines.

One reason why spindle chillers are now basically standard equipment on higher end CNC machines. Wanna test out your manual lathe? Put a breaker bar against the bed use a block of wood and against your chuck. Put an indicator on a jaw with the mag base attached to the headstock. Next is the backlash of the cross slide and the deviation that takes place from vibration as the insert wipes across the surface of the part.

I chose my lathe because it has a slant bed. This means gravity is always working to load the ball screw in one direction. Inspection grade gravity is free and machine manufacturers have learned to take advantage of it. My turret probably weighs as much or more than most manual lathes used for gun work.

Again, newton's little law that can all be summarized into machines that repeat very well once a guy learns the quirks and moods of them. See how much it moves with a little grunt effort. There's a reason why production grade equipment has mass and size. Weight and surface area tend to stay put.

Newton's law at its best. A 10th is a small number. I worked in a metrology lab for a gear manufacturer in Wisconsin years ago. It took a machine valued at 7 figures to inspect a gear to a five decimal tolerance.

Suffice to say our little chicken chit Brown and Sharp indicators aren't even on the same playing field as something like this. You can eat a 10th in surface finish alone. Yet another reason why I preach so hard about insert carbide tooling and using it at the SFM that its designed to operate at. You get a better finish and that is just as important as the holy grail zero indicated bore center. The parts came out good and those machines are very capable of producing 5,6,7 decimal place parts so I have to think it'll work for a goofball gun chamber.

Enjoy your Saturday germs. The stuff finally arrived. Woo hoo. Time to go freebase some paint fumes! Re: Cost of barrel threading. Then we pull the rod and run the machine awhile. Nothing is cut until the setup proves repeatable.
