In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit.
These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground.
Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune.
If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them... maybe you can hire...

The tools to do this aren’t over very expensive. Have you considered doing it yourself?

Lots of people come to me to fix their previous attempts at DIY.
It always ends up costing more to fix a screwed up job than to do it right the first time.

Sometimes you can't afford to save some money on a job.

I guess different people have different ideas of what “expensive” is but I use one of these:

Also, to fix a botched threading job, the gunsmith usually has to cut off the messed up threaded portion to re-thread the muzzle. You aren't going to get that bit of barrel back, and will lose about 5/8" of barrel minimum. Not a big deal on a 20+ inch barrel, but if you started with a 16" barrel, then you might have to pin and weld something on there to make it legal.

Depending how messed up the threads are, one can also turn the bad area under size, thread and permanently install a bushing to be turned to original intended thread. No loss of barrel length, and if done right you wouldn't know it was there unless someone told you.
