I have a tac 65 on its way and was told that I could not get it threaded. was told that i would need to have the bbl trimed then threaded which would leave no room for the front sight. anyone else have this problem? this will be my first NFA item. I have no experience with silencers. |

SRT Arms threaded my barrel and moved my front sight back. Includes a thread protector. Less $$ than a Tactical Solutions upper. SRT Arms |
or you can just get it tapped for a mount like 
|
| Marty @ Teppo Jutsu just threaded both my Ruger MKII and 22/45 and moved back the front sight blade by drilling and tapping a new hole. |

The barrel does not have to be shortened to thread, diameter of end of barrel reduced to .5" then threaded, front sight gets in the way. You can have a phantom thread cut into the end of the barrel, it will be expensive. www.noveskerifleworks.com/ |
| If the smith you are having thread the barrel cannot figure out how to remount the front sight then I would not trust them to thread the barrel either. Even if slight modification has to be done to the sight to make it fit, it should be a simple job for any competent smith. |

I am sending my buckmark barrel to them next week. by roby Actually this is who I asked Sean, Sorry to take so long to reply. My internet has been down the last few days. I think you mean Tactical Innovations. TAC65 The problem with the 4" barrel 22/45's is it doesn't leave me enough room to work with. The front of the barrel needs to be trimmed else the threads will go right through where the old front sight screw hole is. The 4" barrel doesn't give you enough length to do this. I need to start with the 5.5" barrel Ruger. Cheers.

I did not know you started with the 5.5 inch barrel. the NFA dealer tells me not to worry he'll talk to Mike and if he can't do it he knows a couple of other smiths that will do it they are just a little farther away.   |
