Need a 9mm blowback barrel cut from 16" to 10" and threaded (I would run a silencer probably).
Any recommendations? |

The man is busier than a cat covering shit most of the time. I don't know how he does what he does.... |

Based on a vast amount of reading? ADCO or Retro Arms Works. I have no personal experience with either----but I hear good things.

When I posted there were zero responses. In the time it took me to post my response? (Like a minute?) Look at the people chiming in for JT at Retro.

If Retro Arms will do it, I'd send it there 11 times out of 10.

What do the feed ramps look like? I'd be talking to Rudy at Macon Armory.

Quote HistoryAn RDB barrel. Don't think it needs Rudy's feed ramp treatment. Not sure if he would cut it.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By tortilla-flats: I'll check again. Maybe he re-hired that position? The guy he originally had doing it passed away a few years back. We never stopped cutting/threading barrels, and we do any caliber barrel that fits in the lathe. 3 years ago I had 2 full time machinists and one part time. Of my 2 full time guys one died and the other had a massive stroke. For the last 18 months I've only have one guy doing all the threading. To keep turnaround times short we stopped offering several services to focus on the bread and butter (threading barrels) - but we still receive, thread, and ship out barrels every day. |

John at RA.
I would mail him a barrel to cut on Monday and have it back on Thursday. I'd just throw cash in an envelope ad tell him what i wanted. Can't recommend him enough. |

Don't need any work right now (I have used you in the past), but jeez about your two full-time guys. That's rough.
