Gunsmith to shorten and thread a barrel

[Snaveba]

I am contemplating building a Trapper in 30-30 if I can pick up a “needs a lot of work” Marlin I am following on an auction. Anyone know of a good gunsmith in the Nashville area who can cut the barrel down to 16.5” and thread it for a suppressor?  I will also need a dovetail cut into the top for a front sight blade and the bottom for the mag tube holder

I am not a gunsmith. That said, I do have a hacksaw and a couple of files. It may take a little bit but it would look pretty and it would not cost you about $5000.

 

I will go back to my corner now.

Following, I have a M&P 15-22 I would like to use to host a suppressor. Threaded replacement barrels are more than the gun cost new.

After reading a few threads on another forum, I might try the dovetail cutting myself. However, I think the threading of the barrel may cost more in tools than GS fees. (If I can find a true gunsmith in the area, and not just a “builder”)

Check with the guy in Chapel Hill at Echo 3 Armory.  Not sure of his prices, but threading shouldn't be any issue.   I thread my own barrels but have a lathe and tooling.  It really isn't rocket science to be honest.  You will want a mill to do the dovetails.
