I bought a Volquartsen 1/2x 28 adapter for my VQ barrel on my 10/22 and it looks like the threads got damaged during shipping. Is there someone locally that can repair / rethread them? I really don't want to have to RMA it back and wait two+ weeks before I see it again.

Barrel Threading
Who do ya use, where are they located and how much?
I had spoken to Morgan at Dallas Shooting supplies about some suppressors but I think I annoyed him changing my mind on suppressor choices twice. Two weeks, a email and a VM and nothing...so
Looking to get my Tikka threaded sometime in the next few weeks. No rush really just trying to get everything taken care of.
Thanks for any input,

White wing in Denton can do it, I think they run about $150 for threading.Comment

Atwell tactical in Richardson, $75 and he does a great job, and he's fast. His shop always has a wall of Accuracy International rifles, and other incredibly pricey guns in for threading, so if they trust their guns to him, I trust mine. He's done 5 rifles for me, no problems. There's a gun in Rockwall that does it for $50, he's cheaper but quite a pain to deal with given the distance."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Can't you just buy the right tap/die and fix the threads? (I'm seriously asking before I get flamed)Originally posted by stevoComment

I have no idea. I have never done anything like this before. That would be awesome if I could.Originally posted by bird_dog0347 View PostComment

Can he re-thread the adapter? or "fix" the threads on this adapter? I'm not sure I want to pay $75 to fix a $30 part.Originally posted by CJ View PostComment

Just to give you guys an idea of whats going on...
I have this barre threaded for 13/16 × 20 (factory VQ)
with this adapter;
The adapter threads are what are damaged.Comment

In my opinion... if the threads are CORRECT but damaged, then I'd just get the right die and fix the threads. If you needed to re-thread the whole thing then that's different. You essentially need a $5-$25 tool to do the job and you will always have the tool after that. No need to finance someone else's tools.Originally posted by Craizie View PostJust to give you guys an idea of whats going on...

They appear to be correct. Where would I get the die at?Originally posted by bird_dog0347 View PostComment

Not sure what part of town you're in, but if anywhere near Plano I'd suggest Elliot's Hardware first. Perhaps one of the big box stores will have it but you'd likely have to buy a large set to find the right ones. I've got a metric set of taps and dies, but not a standard set so I wouldn't be much help.Originally posted by stevoComment

make sure you get a bottom tap if you plan on clearing the threads all the way down."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

I'm in north fort worth
It looks like the 2nd and 3rd thread from the top are the ones that are damaged.
Would I need a bottom tap?Comment

A plug tap would do fine for that.Originally posted by Craizie View PostI'm in north fort worth
