Isn't fag racist? I can't keep up

[The Reverend Floater]

Gun brahs, nuts, and enthusiasts - I humbly post in your thread seeking advice. I have a girly tikka t3x superlight chambered in 6.5 cm that I hunt with. I want to make it even girlier by suppressing it, but I need to take it to a gun smith to get the barrel threaded. The barrel is currently 24.3" long and fluted. The fluting ends about 3.5 from the muzzle. Tikka appears to offer several similar models to my riffle that come with a 24" fluted barrel, factory threaded in 5/8-24 with a radial brake installed. My question is this: Can I have a gun smith chop 2.5 or 3" off my barrel and thread it 5/8-24? And the only reason I am considering shortening my barrel is because it's already pretty long, and a suppressor will make it even longer. I've read a bunch of contradictory stuff on other forums, and don't really understand everything guys are spouting off about ie facing, shoulders, adaptors, etc.

Follow up question: Can anyone make any recommendations for a suppressor for my rifle? Do I want a quick release or direct thread? Should I also install a brake and use an adaptor? The only shooting I do is to practicing my marksmanship and to hunt - that is to say no competition or anything like that. Thanks for entertaining my novice and uninformed questions.

I had a similar Tikka (.300WM) as my elk rifle. I did the math and ended up just buying a threaded Tikka rather than smithing it, then selling the old one. Cost wasnt too far off. Other option is to buy an aftermarket barrel and have it professionally installed. Plenty of options out there for good, lightweight barrels that are threaded.

Beats the hell out of me but this is a question that gets asked quite frequently on the Rokslide forum. Search around there for a while and I bet you can answer at least some of your questions.

I had my stainless t3x 7mm-08 cut down to 18” for a suppressor. My barrel isn’t fluted but it was thin and it started to get into the contour at that length. I suspect the fluting will cause some gunsmiths to say no.

I went with a Thunderbeast Arms 7” suppressor so I leaned on them for info. They have an in house gunsmith and I sent them my action and barrel for them to do the work. They cut the barrel but instead of threading it they installed one of their threaded brakes. They were also concerned that the thin profile of the barrel wouldn’t allow enough shoulder but the threaded brake solves that issue.

You may find someone that will thread that barrel to a different thread pitch and then suggest an adapter but I’d be Leary of stacking tolerances. Take a look at TBAC products, read reviews, and contact them directly for advice. I’m traveling right now but feel free to send me a PM and I can give you more details when I get back.

Yep, lots of good advice there. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) I got banned.

Check your barrel that the bore is concentric, before going down the suppressor rabbit hole.

[Terrapin Ben]

Before you chop your barrel, take a look at the weight of a nice titanium suppressor.

As far as a gunsmith, see if you can find a suppressor manufacturer that will specifically take your gun and thread it to your suppressor.

Take a look at silencerco.com They are very responsive and can probably answer a ton of questions.

Definitely want Ti for weight savings. Will reach out to silencerco - thanks!

Math is hard, but what you say makes a lot of sense.

Appreciate you sharing your experience.

Right, but as mentioned previously, there is a ton of contradictory information out there and I don't always understand the message being communicated due to jargon. See above quote - what does shoulder mean? How do I measure it? How much shoulder is required?

After lots of research, I am pretty sure that Tikka offers rifles chambered in 6.5 CM with a factory threaded muzzle at 1/2x28 thread pitch - both fluted and regular barrel. So I think my options are as follows:

1. Ask the gun smith to thread my barrel to 1/2x28 and then use an adaptor to accept a suppressor with a (standard?) 5/8x24 thread pitch.

or

2. Ask the gun smith to thread my barrel to 1/2x28 and then install a muzzle brake with external threading to accept a suppressor like ZZZ mentioned, but I don't fully understand how this is any different than simply using an adaptor?

Now I just need to understand the pros and cons of either approach and figure out if I should/can shorten my barrel... or do the math of purchasing a factory threaded rifle. The rabbit hole goes deep and dark. Thanks you everyone for your input and suggestions.

[Conundrum]

I have a 7mm Tikka Lite stainless barrel (not fluted) that I had threaded to 1/2x28 and use a Dead Air Keymo brake for that threading. I have a DA Nomad 30 suppressor. It works. Would rather go direct thread but due to the PIA buying suppressors is, I only have one suppressor that is used on three different rifles each set up with a KeyMo brake. Other two rifles are 5/8x24. Most of the manufacturers have good QR adapters. I haven't had a POI shift from taking the suppressor on an off. There is a slight POI between shooting suppressed and not.

Rev's recommendation might be easier, better, and cost neutral in the long run if this going to be your only hunting rifle. As for cutting off barrel length, you'll be reducing velocity on a 6.5cm. Keep in mind what you're hunting and at what distance you're willing to shoot. Could get light for elk.

Some of the biggest news to hit the gun world in decades.

Remember how gun world is against any form of gun registration because some future government may use that list of gun owners to start a massive gun confiscation ?

Turns out there really is such a list !

For over 3 decades all the gun manufacturers plus the major gun retailers have been building up an industry-wide database of every gun sold correlated with every gun owner. Exactly what every gun owner fears the government will do, but here it is private industry using the data.

They even use the database to look at other shopping habits by gun owners. So they know, for example, that AR-15 buyers at Cabelas also purchase mini-size condoms at Walgreens.

This is absolutely wild news. I’m sure gun world will shrug it off as NBD…

Oh snap.

[Foggy_Goggles]

I imagine this surprises very few. With even private party gun sales subject to background check and FFL since 2013 I think, defacto gun registration has been assumed. Or at least that is my take. But I'm pro gun registration.

And then you have carry permits and hunting licences. The nefarious ways we are surveilled sucks but their are a shit ton of ways we just voluntarily comply.

Yup. Like those yellow forms that every gun shop had you fill out even before Brady. Filing cabinets full of them. Maybe not centralized but still there. Isn't that how they found the person who bought the rifle used in the Trump ear shooting? Sales are recorded.

Yea this is a big deal.

The mini condom thing isn't true tho, some liberal simp hack atually did a study on that. Anti gun folks correlated to smaller penis size.

[irul&ublo]

You've no doubt done some close up verification of that

[Whiteroom_Guardian]

FFL "Delay"? I'm 10ish days out and no word yet. What do you think the average wait is?

[Foggy_Goggles]

Usually it is 3days including the waiting period around here.

No waiting period in MT. I purchased a hunting rifle 7 or 8 years ago. Haven't purchased any firearms since. This is for a pistol though.

Montana must be a commie state. I’ve never waited for more than 30 minutes in Utah.

Bump with question for FFLs or people regularly who buy/sell firearms.

In July I consigned four rifles with an FFL in my area. One of which was my great grandfathers 1892 Winchester c. 1906.

Said he would list them in August. And Said he would let me know when he listed them (Gunbroker.com)
He didn’t let me know.

In early October I got a check for one of the rifles. No accounting of gross sales price, expenses of sale or his commission. Just a check.

After a month of several emails, text messages and phone messages I got a text three weeks ago saying he realized he didn’t pay me for all of the guns and would do so “as soon as possible”.

Haven’t seen anything. Seems quite possible that’s plenty of time to provide an accounting and send me a check.

So my patience is kinda exhausted.

Question is, do I have any recourse other than through small claims court? Can I complain thru BATF to put pressure on him?
Other avenues?

TIA

If you're "Brady Delayed" - might as well give up buying from a chain store.
