Does anyone have a suggestion for a gunsmith in Central Texas to thread the barrel on my Thompson Center .308?

What do you consider central Texas? That can run from San Antonio to Dallas and San Angelo to college station by some definitions which by area is about the size of Louisiana.
In NB/Austin, name your city and I can tell you the closest I would trust. (Any good machinist should be able to thread a barrel)

South Texas Armament is about 270 miles of Houston (Uvalde, TX). He does some pretty damn nice work from what I've seen on his IG page.
West Texas Ordnance was already mentioned, but I'll also mention that I've seen nice stuff posted up that's coming out of their shop, too.
Or, you could always just package it up, and ship it up to Chad Dixon @LRI up in Sturgis, SD. His stuff is all CNC'd and is super precise. Quick, too.
I don't have any personal experience with their barrel threading work, but they did respond to all my questions promptly.

You aren't considering just shipping the barrel somewhere ? Particularly when you factor in what your time is worth, added mileage on your vehicle and cost of gas, shipping is a lot cheaper.Thanks, I'll give then a call. That's a bit of a haul but , hey what isn't in Texas
Twisted Precision is on the west side of San Antonio in Center Point.
I've had John do a couple of jobs for me.
I highly recommend him.

I wouldnt drive a couple hundred miles just to thread a muzzle, if you dont mind the hour drive down to leander RIP Precision might be able to get you set up as well as anyone.

I’ve used Morgan for barrel threading a dozen times in the last 6-8yrs, just mail him barreled action and he’ll mail it back. Great job, fast, good prices. Deal with confidence.
