    SoCal smith for Beowulf Brake Threading?

    I have a entry level AA Beowulf (non threaded barrel end) that I want to install a King Armory brake on. This is what King Armory has said..

    "Its a pretty easy thread to cut, 20TPI is very coarse. The KA-0450 is a very precise brake so the threads will need to be cut on a lathe. The last .550" of the barrel needs to be threaded 49/64"x20 and the 1/2" behind that needs to be turned to .775" diameter (most AA barrels are already that diameter anyways)

    Ironically, threading a Beo barrel takes 1/3 of the time it takes to thread a .223 AR15 barrel because the barrel is already sized, its a coarse thread, and you don't have to cut a step for the crush washer. "

    I called Bolsa Gunsmithing and they declined as they don't work on AR platform....he suggested Evan's but stated they likely won't either...and I've heard good and bad about Evans.....

    Anyone have a reccomendation as to someone in the OC area that can do it without taking forever? Sounds like a pretty simple job for a experienced smith....I'm trying to avoid shipping it but if I have to I guess I will...

    Thanks

      I did a transfer at Entreprise (Irwindale) a couple weeks ago. Asked them how much it'd cost to install a brake. They said $50, w/ a one week turnaround. They seem to have a spotty rep for rifle building, but how hard can it be to thread a barrel on a lathe?

      And there's always Randall. He had great prices. Cut and crowned my AR barrel while I waited. www.ar15barrels.com

              Stay away from Evan's Gunsmithing. That guy is a complete tool.

              Give Randall a call.

                  Yeah, Randall should be able to do it. I'm not much of a machinist and even I can thread a Beo barrel, its a cakewalk.

                      Yeah, I looked at Randalls site...was gonna call him but couldn't find a phone number...anyone wanna pm his number? Saw where the upper has to be disassembled? Jeezzz even with his low price to thread...between taking down the upper and reassembling it and threading and shipping both ways...gonna be looking at over $100....

                          remove the bbl yourself. It will reduce the shipping cost, as well as what he charges to dis/reassemble.
