Sako L61R Finnbear 270 break/suppressor

[cohunter18]

I have my dad's Sako Finnbear L61R 270 with a serial number in 51XXX range. It has the original front iron site on it but no rear sight. I'm thinking about having it threaded for a muzzle break and use with my suppressor.

My gun smith says he can thread this barrel (0.65" OD) for a break that works with my suppressor. Has anyone else done this? I'm trying to figure out if this is a good/bad idea with this rifle and is there a chance that adding the break/suppressor will cause issues with the accuracy? Would I do better to just get a new rifle already threaded?

I have done this, you have to be aware that the front sight is screwed on, the rear screw hole may be visible after threading, if this doesn't bother you, then proceed. It's a very simple job and should not affect your accuracy.

Cheers.
