| Has anyone threaded a Buckmark factory barrel? I don't know that I want to spend a couple hundred for a Tac Sol barrel when the one I have can be threaded for a minimum cost. |

Not only have I never done that or had it done, I've never even SEEN a threaded Buckmark barrel............... Sorry I wasn't more help............ Well, now you have! 
Really easy to remove the barrel, so ideal vs., say, a Ruger for this sort of work. That being said, thread jobs by the known smiths seems to run ~$100, and you could probably get $50+ for the takeoff factory barrel in good shape. Looks like the threaded tacsols are $200 for non-fluted and $230 for fluted, so the actual cost differential using those estimated prices isn't that bad. |

Wlel, I printed out the CAD drawings of what I needed from YHM.

He's threading it for me, making a thread protector and moving the sight back. He refused to quote me a price, soooo I 'll likely not have to pay for it! More money I can put towards the tax stamp and can. |

So, I'll have Tornado, Gem-Tech or Hi-desert dog do it. |
