Larry Hoskins
Prototech Inc.
Carmel, IN

lwhoskins3@hotmail.com

Does great work with HAAS CAD Lathe. Larry has done 5 barrels for me now, all are exceptional. Be sure to tell him in your email that you heard about Prototech at RFC and mention my name if you want. I have told him about this post and he is very reasonable in pricing for RFC members. Regards, Jim

I got it back & I'm probably not the guy you want to do machine work for.
Jim Pixley got it back to me a week sooner than expected and he did beautiful work.
I screwed my SilencerCo Sparrow on just a few threads and had very minimal play, the protector seam disappears when installed, I had him remove the 'warning billboard' from the bottom of the barrel as well. Upon assembly and suppressor mounted I was smacking my steel plates at fifty yards, he got the front sight mounted just right as well. I couldn't be more pleased, he exceeded my expectations.

I would either send your barrel in to be threaded or buy an aftermarket barrel with the correct threading. I bought a 10/22 with the factory threaded barrel and the flash hider and found out that they are threaded too long, .670" instead of .400" and even the spacers made for AR threads came up short

ADCO Firearms in Sylvania, Ohio do a great job at a reasonable price. Short Action Customs in Wellington, Ohio are the best I've worked with but are also the most expensive, although they get the bore indicated down to .0002" or less, and their work is impeccable.

Just remembered: << THREAD ADAPTER 1/2x20 FEMALE TO 1/2x28 MALE WITH THREAD PROT - Pike Arms Inc.® >>

In UK in 1960s ago they sold steel Female=>Male adapter ( ½"x20 Female => ½" x 20 Male ) for the
the Parker-Hale MM1 .22 all aluminum can to preserve threads ... also recommended something
Anti-seize on steel to aluminum as was done with spark plugs on aluminum engines.

Ebay has many adapters between threads also.
