I would use AllenM. He hasn't done a barrel for me, so I don't know what he charges, but he custom built a 1911 for me and did a great job. ZR Tactical charged me $125 (if I'm remembering correctly) to cut and butcher the threads on my CZ Scorpion barrel. I will never use them again for anything.
If you bring me just a barrel and no disassembly required, its 80.00 to cut suppressor ready threads. For cut crown and thread a bare barrel it is 125.00
If you pull the gas tube, is it possible to cut threads in an AR barrel by chucking it around the middle of the barrel and leaving the upper receiver attached? I haven't played with many lathes or mills.
This Scorpion fiasco happened over 3 years ago and he claimed the 1/2-36 thread was out of spec. He was asked to bring it back in so we could check or chase it if it was needed. He went into a rant about how he was an engineer and someone checked it... Claim was never substantiated and we were never allowed to fix let alone even see the alleged claim. Parrots this garage every time someone mentions the company. We literally thread over 500 barrels a year and manufacturer tens of thousands of AR receivers.
Read the threads above. Not AllenM at all. The guy above spews hate at my shop, ZRTS. PM me if you're still confused.
Sling10mm is who he is referring to.What are you referring to. If you are calling AllenM's shop a garage you and I need to have a sit down my friend. This is what I am seeing.
1st...who are you. Clarify please so we all know.
2nd...belittling an Ingo member in good standing and an advertiser is not something taken lightly.
Please clarify the above. If I am wrong I will apologize. If not,

Clarification. Zach meant GARBAGE not garage. Seems Sling10mm is the one guilty of belittling an INGO member.
ZRTS has threaded my barrels. AllenM has threaded my barrel. Both do a great job. I'll recommend either depending on distance.
