[QUOTE="sdkidaho, post: 814000, member: 19932"] I've got two Weatherby Vanguards, a .257 and a .300 WSM. I bought a suppressor and it is a 5/8-24 thread. I'm having trouble finding a gunsmith with a lathe that can handle these 24" barrels to be able to cut them back far enough to do the thread work. Suppressor: [url=http://www.templartacticalfirearms.com/products/suppressors/archangel30caltitaniumsuppressor/]Archangel 30 Cal 9.25? Titanium Suppressor | Templar Suppressors, Customer Precision Rifles[/url] The smith would have to cut the barrel back a bit to get enough thickness to make the proper thread size. He is a very good gun smith, and we even checked with another smith in the area. Both have the same issue, in that their lathes cannot go as short as needed with the 24" barrels. Even then if they could, it would be to cut threads to add a collar to which that collar would have the correct sized threads as the barrels just do not have enough material to make the 5/8-24 threads without cutting off a lot of the barrel. Do I need to find a different gunsmith with the equipment needed? Do I need to replace the barrels with ones that are big enough in diameter that they wouldn't need to be cut back as far as the stock ones? I hate to replace new barrels, but I want to be able to use the suppressor... If the answer is to replace the barrels, what would any of you recommend? And have I given enough information for recommendations to be made? [/QUOTE]
