I searched, but only found a comment regarding using mag na port to have R8 barrels threaded. I have a couple ('06 and 300) that I wouldn't mind having threaded.

I seem to recall seeing a post some time back regarding having someone (in Texas?) else thread barrels.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
 
I bought my Blaser R8 22lr kit from Van at Top Dog Guns Global. He had purchased 10 kits from Blaser and sent them out to be threaded. Not sure who he used, but they did a very good job. Might give him a call to find out.
 
Pack up the barrels and send to Magnaport in MI
You will regret having anyone else do it! This is who does it for Blazer and their dealers in the US
 
Top Dog recommended Magnaport to me several years ago! It did my Surgery residency and fellowship in Detroit years ago and had Bill at Magnaport do custom work on multiple guns.
His son now runs the Company and does a great job
 
Blaser outsources threading to Magnaport and will move your front site for free if you have one
 
Thanks guys. I will give them a call to check on price and timeline. I did not see anything on their website related to the threading.
