Is it possible to get .400” of threads on a 10/22 and retain the front sight bead?
If I can do that, I think I’d like to try an ECCO salamander |

I wouldn't stand in front of a piss-filled supersoaker. Does that make it a good pistol? - Caboose314
I thought I was covered for 22 cans, but the NFAids is a bitch when it mutates - themagikbullet |

Yes - if the gunsmith has the talent.
The barrel has to be turned back so the front sight can be mounted behind the threads. |

Would probably approach the cost of just buying a factory threaded barrel.

I had that done to a stainless 10/22. It was a guy from Rimfire Central who went by Hanging Tree. He stopped advertising work though. I shortened to 16.2” and you can’t even see the joint where the sight base was moved back.
ETA: I thought Adco used to list that as a service but I don’t see it listed. |

Maddmacs and Grumpy's Guns also offer that service. I was going to do mine but went SBR instead. I did have Grumpy drill and tap a charger barrel for a front sight. I've used him for a few different things.

I was in your position last fall and found it was cheaper to buy a threaded barrel. Ended up with a faxxon barrel and couldn’t be happier.

JP did nice work on my Ruger slabside. I have an Ecco Ocelot Micro on it.

View Quote You are costing me money. Barrel, stamp, new for-end, scope mount, engraving, I'm over $500 because I clicked on a link. Oh, and I'll have to duracoat the gun now because barrel and receiver don't match. And we won't count the suppressor and tax stamp, I had that on the way already. |

View Quote Hanging Tree did mine many years ago and it looked perfect. I sold it a couple years ago since the project I had it done for didn't wind up happening, but his work was fantastic and price was very reasonable, IIRC. |

I have an identical slabside in the safe; bought it only because it tested as accurate as my M41s. Now You've gone and made me have to thread it. Problems. Problems. |

I'm in the same boat, for the price of the work you could buy another factory barrel, maybe sell off the stock barrel to offset the price.
The new collectors edition rifles are around $250 and come with a threaded barrel with iron sights. That's the route I went. Though for any threading work highly recommend JP as mentioned above. |

I was looking to thread my old 10/22 and ended up just getting this for about twice what it was going to cost to thread my existing rifle.
It’s going to get rattle canned anyway, and the sights are cool. Attached File |
