[QUOTE="Riflehunter1776, post: 1772636, member: 103369"] no barrel is perfectly straight. they all have some amount of run out. that is why all quality smiths that I know remove the barrel before threading rather than ramming it through the back of the lathe and cranking it down into a chuck with the action spinning around. especially if the threads are for a silencer and any degree of error could cause a baffle strike. But that's fine if we agree to disagree. I'll stick with the people who do work I can count on; there are plenty of gunsmiths I would not take work to. [/QUOTE]
