Barrel Threading

[jmhoying]

Looking good! I gotta get on board the $200 tax stamp train while it's still possible. Question, why didn't you crown the barrel? Even with a suppressor, the 11-degree crown with a crisp break at the bore should help. That 45 degree break looks pretty wide, reminds me of an old wartime Mauser or service revolver. Are you using this barrel for RF target competition?

I barrel end is strictly stock Ruger, I didn't touch it. This is strictly a plinking rifle, with occasional use dispatching a muskrat or groundhog at a relatively close range.
I filed for my tax stamp in late June, so my 8 months in purgatory is about up. Now, you can do everything electronically and it is supposedly a lot faster. I bought a Dead Air Mask for my .22 and will use in on a pistol, as well. I went through Silencershop.com and they made the application process very easy. They are located in Texas or somewhere in that part of the country, but they had a kiosk in a dealer near me in Ohio. I could do the fingerprint process and such on the kiosk. That dealer now has my suppressor and I can pick it up once the paperwork completes.
