Is it possible to get .400” of threads on a 10/22 and retain the front sight bead?
If I can do that, I think I’d like to try an ECCO salamander |

Yes - if the gunsmith has the talent.
The barrel has to be turned back so the front sight can be mounted behind the threads. |

Would probably approach the cost of just buying a factory threaded barrel.

I had that done to a stainless 10/22. It was a guy from Rimfire Central who went by Hanging Tree. He stopped advertising work though. I shortened to 16.2” and you can’t even see the joint where the sight base was moved back.
ETA: I thought Adco used to list that as a service but I don’t see it listed. |

Maddmacs and Grumpy's Guns also offer that service. I was going to do mine but went SBR instead. I did have Grumpy drill and tap a charger barrel for a front sight. I've used him for a few different things.

I was in your position last fall and found it was cheaper to buy a threaded barrel. Ended up with a faxxon barrel and couldn’t be happier.

JP did nice work on my Ruger slabside. I have an Ecco Ocelot Micro on it.

Quote HistoryYou are costing me money. Barrel, stamp, new for-end, scope mount, engraving, I'm over $500 because I clicked on a link. Oh, and I'll have to duracoat the gun now because barrel and receiver don't match. And we won't count the suppressor and tax stamp, I had that on the way already. |

Hanging Tree did mine many years ago and it looked perfect. I sold it a couple years ago since the project I had it done for didn't wind up happening, but his work was fantastic and price was very reasonable, IIRC. |

I have an identical slabside in the safe; bought it only because it tested as accurate as my M41s. Now You've gone and made me have to thread it. Problems. Problems. |
