[QUOTE="chutinlead, post: 2275567, member: 112603"] To pay a gunsmith the money to thread it, no, not really worth it. I took a 6.5x47 26" barrel that was pretty well fire cracked in front of the throat and cut 4" off the breech end, 2" off the muzzle, and make a 20" 6.5-06 barrel for my old 270 savage. But I did the lathe work myself, bought a reamer, and threaded the muzzle. My thought was if I could get enough like to hunt for 10 years, it cost me nothing for the barrel(It was in a local shops scrap pile) and $100 for the reamer. Plus I can use the reamer again down the road on a nice new barrel when it wears out. [/QUOTE]
