Hey guys, I feel like this is a stupide question but... A friend just went to a VERY well known shooting school and mentioned to the instructor that he wanted to build up a gun with a threaded barrel possibly for a muzzle break or eventually a suppressor. The instructor suggested not threading the barrel because the additional laws regarding a threaded barrel. He said something about government keeping track of it or registering it. Now, I have a couple of guns here in the closet that I had the barrels threaded on and I have never heard such a thing before (except in California). Has something happened that I am not aware of or is this well known bigshot smoking crack? Thanks |
It requires approval from your Chief of Police, seven forms to be filled out by your dealer and gunsmith, a $50 application fee, plus opening an insurance escrow account of $1 Million in liability..... You can have a threaded barrel on any gun. It just depends on what you stick on the threads that involves federal laws. I don't know how much your friend spent for that class, but I bet he paid plenty for it. And came away with a load of BS misinformation. |
