Gunsmithing DFW barreling and threading help

[Adventurer_96]

I came across these older threads in a search, but I wanted to see if anyone has any more recent info on turnaround time and pricing:

I'm looking to get some barrel threading done, as well as a barrel install and bedding.

Alternatively, if someone on the board has a barrel vise and action wrench I could do the bedding on my own.

I looked for a competent smith to thread. Atwell tactical will do it. I have heard good things only after sending my stuff into tornado technology to have it done.

'Stick' did well by me bedding my FN and threading it for a brake.

Thanks... Turnaround time?

I just got a couple back from a guy that I'm not too happy with... the work is fine, but the turn time and lack of communication were very frustrating.

The next place I'm going to try is: Barrel Threading | CLASS 3 MACHINING COMPANY I've never used them, but they get a lot of great reviews over on Texas Hunting Forum.

As i recall, it was 2-3 weeks and as promised. This was a couple of years ago so your mileage may vary. I would have no problem going back myself.

That's a great tip, thanks. Exactly what I needed!

Triple G in Stephenville, Gene Williams over in Princeton come to mind readily

I just got my projects back from Class 3. It was around a week turnaround for the threading. I can highly recommend him based upon work, price and turnaround. Threading is his bread and butter, and he was able to thread the first rifle I ever bought.

I'll be looking for someone to bed two rifles so I'll be contacting the other guys mentioned here and on the other threads.

Gene does decent work. I've never had him thread anything but other work. He's a machinist so he can do pretty much anything. Hell I've had him even grind down & polish a custom faucet that was hitting my backsplash on my tub. Haha!

I use Scott Weichel in Wylie he did an awesome job on my full built and will be using him again.
