Screw cutting barrel's

[CUPCAKE118 0]

Is it possable to screw cut a heavy barrel rifle .223 and how much would that sort of work cost??

[bob.243 8,997]

Yes it can be screw cut, cost £60-, depending who does it.

Yes totally possible in fact it is bread and butter work for most gun smiths. Cost depends on gunsmith, I have just had my winchester coyote lite sent off by the gunshop to be screw cut it cost £55, they send them via courier to somewhere don't know where I am afraid. I am sure there are plenty of chaps on here who can recomend someone to you.

 

Hope thats helpfull.

Screw cut + proofing £90 tops... re-crowning... now we're talking

I have been told that as long as you are just screw cutting the barrel and not shortening it, thereby altering the inside of the barrel, there is no requirement to have it re-proofed. That is what I have just done anyway!

you dont need to reproof it. you only have to do that if your selling it on. some gunsmiths wont do there work inless you have it reproofed yet some do.

 

i guess it depends on there insurance
