alternative to tornado for barrel threading?

Post by jaredr »

looking to thread a savage model 10 .308 and attach 5/8 x 24 tpi AAC brake. can anyone recommend a gunsmith besides tornado? I've read only good things about the work from tornado technologies, but they have a lengthy wait time now and I'm keen to see if I can get this done without having to give up the rifle for a few months (or longer).

thanks,
jared

ADCO does exceptional work and has a quick turn around.

Gemtech did my Remmy 700 in 5/8x24, and they did a great job.Two months door to door.

+1 for Adco. Everything I have sent them hasn't taken longer than a week.

+1 to that. They did my Mech-Tech barrel and sent it back within 10 days. This is the same barrel TT said they couldn't do. :roll:

/17 months and counting on my two guns with TT.

ADCO took 21 days, including shipping both ways and did really nice work.

Delta Company Arms or Liberty Suppressors. I've used both and they are top notch.

usmachinegun.com just did my keltec sub 2k barrel. Looks like they specialize in doing the keltecs, so if you have an SU16 or sub rifle, send it to them. Im posting pics soon of my rebuilt sub 2k after i get my quad rail on it.
