Threading a Barrel

Post by killian6pk »

Does anyone know if it is legal to thread a barrel that was not threaded at the factory? I mean if a gunsmith can do it legally. Someone told me it was not legal to change a gun from factory to that extent.

I don't believe it's a problem. What you screw on it might could be :)

There is that pesky government again, always trying to spoil the fun. :D All I was trying for was a break. Tax Stamps are too expensive. I can buy a lot of hearing protection for the cost of the stamp.
