Re: Re: blanks in a carbine

I forgot to mention that it cost me $40 to get my grease gun done. I had it done by a highly skilled metalsmith. I would think it may cost about the same for the carbine. They just have to tap the barrel and drill a hole through the screw - this is actually not that easy since you have to heat the hardened steel to very high temperatures and then drill it to the proper size. I do not know how much a gunsmith would charge. However, I strongly suggest you get someone who really knows what they are doing or it could be a big mess.

Re: blanks in a carbine

Thanks for the tips. Would you know anything about reputable gunsmiths in Atlanta area?

Re: Re: blanks in a carbine

Tom,

Apologies for the late response. Atlanta is foreign land to me although I was born in Marietta. If you can find out the hex nut dimensions required, then I may be able to find one here. You can ship me the barrel. I have an FFL liscence.
