$75 to thread a barrel with Andrew Atwell.Originally posted by mustang_revival View PostRough pricing on threading a Savage rifle .22 barrel?
I'm trying to decide if I buy a left handed model I want and thread the barrel myself or buy the model pre threaded. Price diff ~260.00"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

That is insane. Usually when a smith gives you a quote on time, you multiply it by 2 or 3 then sit and wait (looking at you, Doc's).Originally posted by CJ View PostYeah I dropped off 3 more barrels at his shop last week, said they will be done this weekend.Originally posted by lincolnboyAfter watching Games of Thrones, makes me glad i was not born in those years.

Yeah, or in the case of King Armory, two weeks means 3 months, and concentric means baffle strike. And $160 means $220.Originally posted by DOHCTR View PostThat is insane.

Atwell shortened and re threaded a barrel for me. He did very nice work, but his time estimates are way off. He told me 3 weeks and it took 3 months. Don't bother trying to call him, just send an email, that was the fastest way to get a hold of him. He does this out of his house and gas a full time job, I think that's why its so hard to get a hold of him.Originally posted by CJ View PostI believe they are new, I sent them an e-mail last night.
How was your opinion of Atwell? That's the one I had heard of. My concern is that the threads are perfectly straight, I have $1,200 at risk if it isn't.

Since that post I've sent him like 7 barrels or so. For me he's usually pretty fast. He's a whole lot slower if you don't prep the barrel for him. He does runs every week or so on barrels, if you pull your barrel and get it prepped, he will throw it in on the next run and that's usually a few weeks at most.Originally posted by bigshoe View PostAtwell shortened and re threaded a barrel for me.
