Looking to have my Remington 700 CDL in .270 threaded for a muzzle brake and suppressor. It's somewhat complicated since it's a sporter barrel and it'll need to have a 5/8" x 24 threads and there's not much meat for a shoulder. I've done a little research to see if it's possible, and it is, but I want to ensure that it's done correctly.

This is what I'm looking to have done.

Does anybody have a good recommendation up this way? Closer to Grapevine/Colleyville would be ideal, but I'm willing to go a little further out for a good gunsmith.

That looks pretty good! I may take you up on that. What's the best way to contact you off Texags?

The one recommended guy around here that I called gave some other way of doing it. I think with 1/2" threads then putting an adapter that allows for 5/8", but I'm wanting what you just did and what I posted. I think it looks cleaner and works better. Cause my goal is to have a muzzle brake (currently 5/8") that allows for a quick-connect suppressor that I have in my trust.

I'd steer clear of adapters. The reason I started doing these was because of a gentleman here in Shiner that put an adapter on his Winchester using the factory BOSS threads. The adapter introduced angular deflection / misalignment which he didn't notice. It became apparent when his 300 win mag blew his suppressor 40 yards down range! I've done several since. Fun project.

Very cool

I have used Cajun Gunworks in Plano a couple of times. They were great and will use again

I know it might sound crazy, but Scheel's does a great job. I've had 4 rifles threaded, including 2 with the Shoulder taper to match the Q Cherry Bomb brake. Heavy barrels and sporter. 1/2x28 and 5/8x24.

Relatively quick turn around. Friendly.

Alamo Precision in the NRS/HEB area. They make Rolls Royce quality rifles and do excellent gunsmith work.

Awesome, not too far from work. Going to need to pick up some OT in the near future.
