I've got a SPS tactical 223 obviously with a heavy barrel. Is it possible to thread it for a can or will I lose the crown?
As you can tell, I'm a noob when it comes to precision rifles.
Thanks

Great, that's for the replies. Like I said, I'm a noob with these rifles.
That's good news then, I'll start looking for a local smith!

send it to Hooper Ordnance in Alabama. He's on the form here and can thread that barrel no problem. I talked to him about doing mine and will be bringing it to him later

if i am going to spend the time setting up a factory remington barrel for a precision muzzle thread, i am going to spend the extra two minutes to recut the crown.
