You are a very fortunate man to have those kinds of skills.
I am retired Mechanic/machinist wanna be from the Montana DOT, I did good in the Mechanakeing department , but, as for machining anything, I know just about enough to be dangerous and really messitup. Juz like My spellign. :rotfl:

Does that one stop the barrel from rising too, or just helps from hammering a shoulder ???
If that`n will stop the barrel from rising, I thinking I`ll get one.
I have a frien that is a machinist and has been threadink barrels, does a good job too.
Things is moving fast now.
What`ll You say when Jesus asks, Why did`nt You read My book ???

What I would do is do a concentricity test.. If its not concentric then you will not be able to thread it without some specialized tools (this would be an offset thread application, not easy). In addition if its not concentric the gun will never be accurate at all. If the concentricity is due to + dimension then you can mostly likely lathe it out. If its due to - dimension then the bbl can be added to you boat anchor collection.

I'm not sure what's worse:

The suppressed state of Illinois OR The Communist Republic of Massachusetts :laugh:

Afternoon. If you want a permanent muzzle break you could try Magna Port, they machine the muzzle break ports right into your barrel, if you want a removable break then by all means get the end of your barrel threaded then when not using the break you can get a screw on thread cover. Decisions - decisions, in any case the best of luck on your choice.
