30-06 Barrel Threading by Hands

This is for the first time I threaded my barrel by myself. Usually I sent them to a gunsmith.
I'm happy with the result. I have learned some mistake I did and hopefully I will do much better next time. I don't have experience on this, so if I can do it, I'm sure you can do it, too. Keep in mind the video is on fast mode during the process, so you will see I turned the tool so fast.
My gun is Remington Remington 783, 30-06. Thread that I made is 5/8"-24. Common threading size for rifle. If you want to try your first time, you may want to do it on budget friendly rifle.

Hahahahaha 😂

This made be chuckle out load on and off for a long time. Thank you!

[@davidwagner2280]

Hey man if it works it works. You saved a lot of money from paying someone else to do it and got the same results you were looking for. Good job!

[@NorCalOutdoor]

Thanks for your supportive comment, Brother. Yes, it works well.

[@timgasper8748]

Lol....ok. from a former weapons mechanic with the 40th ARRS. Vietnam Era. If it works...ok whatever but it does save a handful of money. Thanks for the show.

[@eaznutts5714]

To each their own.... If you're happy with the result then perfect.

[@wannabemgtow2540]

I like the way some Asian do work, they have a way of getting it done no matter how many people are complaining saying you're doing it wrong. If it works it works, it's better to have your own homemade threaded barrel then taking it to a machinist and paying a extortion fee for simple threading. My only advice if you're going to do this regularly get yourself a cheap or used lathe machine otherwise I see nothing wrong.

[@mortimerbeetrootplimpton2985]

Great job. I may try this.

[@trevor9900]

You did great thanks for the video

[@NorCalOutdoor]

You're welcome. Thanks for the comment and watching the video, Trevor

[@allenwrench2352]

I'm threading a barrel tomorrow. I've been watching a few different videos to learn a little as this will be my first time. Like he said at the end, after you get 3-4 threads remove the guide every video I watched can't stress this enough.

[@murderlesson101]

Howd it go?

[@garybyrne2605]

Very nice.

[@dennisgray7509]

Ice! I’m gonna try this

[@montelinn5897]

Looks like he also worked on his shotgun and shot a hole in his corner post

[@jjjeddy]

Don’t listen to the take it to a machine shop crowd. I’ve watched a couple gunsmiths do it this way on smaller barrels that don’t need turned down much.

[@NorCalOutdoor]

Good to know. Thank you

[@kassilewis5511]

I'd like a list of those gunsmiths, so I can avoid them at all cost. (That cost including the price of an annular cutter, guide, die and die wrench.)

[@jjjeddy]

@@kassilewis5511 feel free to take your things to anyone you choose. But I won’t be giving someone like you their names just for you to bash them. Have a nice day.

[@kassilewis5511]

@@jjjeddy I'm not bashing anyone, but I do firmly believe, as a craftsman, that there is a right tool for every job as well as an understanding of using said tool and outcome. If I were to witness a "gunsmith" turning down the muzzle end of a barrel with a bastard file it is painfully obvious that he doesn't have the tools or the knowledge of what he is doing as a professional. Even a home gunsmith can afford an angular cutter, pilot, and bushing from 4d reamers. It wouldn't be my first choice but it would suffice for a rifle that I'm not looking to squeeze 1/2 moa out of. Not to mention dimensions that need to be considered before the work was done(How much material will be left for a shoulder?How much wall thickness will be left between the bore and minor diameter of threads?What is the pitch diameter going to be after using a die of unknown blueprint?etc etc.) Cutting threads isn't a black art but to single point cut threads on a manual lathe with the bore dialed into .0002" or under T.I.R. on the lands and knowing every detail of the threads dimensions and profile does tend to give confidence that a die and file just can't. Have a great day yourself. -Someone like Me.

[@jjjeddy]

@@kassilewis5511 you’re not going to get the point so enjoy your opinion and have a nice day.

[@garrytalley8009]

It was an interesting video I must say. Hardly precision. A gunsmith will charge $100 to $150 dollars for a professional job. I do believe that covers re-bluing. I actually have a Smithy but don't even trust myself to working on my rifles. I am thinking about having one of my rifles done professionally or just purchasing one that comes threaded. The last option is the best. I am happy that you are happy with your results. With a gunsmith you can expect a long wait on getting the rifle barre done if they are any good. You will have to wait in line, and they will have the gun until done.

[@waterhead1027]

I've heard that in some cases, months.

[@murderlesson101]

Yeah nah thats too long to go without my rifles id be waiting right beside my door or just not thread

[@777tjohn]

Awesome! Where did you get the threader and guide at?

[@NorCalOutdoor]

Thank you. Got it from ebay

[@axmnstrbnd]

What kit is this? Where did you get the guide to put in the barrel end?

[@sambrumbaugh3685]

Awesome video what bolt grip do you have on that gun I want one!

[@NorCalOutdoor]

HI, Thanks. I got it from ebay

[@smoothdahustla9729]

How did it shoot? before and after the DIY threading?

[@NorCalOutdoor]

Not much different. Accuracy and recoil felt the same. I just like the way it looked now

[@smoothdahustla9729]

@@NorCalOutdoor oh I thought the point to it was for recoil reduction.

[@NorCalOutdoor]

@@smoothdahustla9729 because what I bought was a compensator, not a muzzle break.

[@scottm2244]

Nice home job dyi but that sir is a compensator not a muzzle break. A muzzle break helps recoil by the gases pulling it forwards after a shot. Your compensator might help a bit but that’s more for semi auto rifles recovering on sight picture faster after each shot. Less barrel movement basically.

[@NorCalOutdoor]

You are right, Sir. It is more a compensator than a muzzle break. Thank you for your correction.

[@BLADES1320]

@scottm2244 Since you're here correcting this man, I'm here to correct you. It's "diy" not "dyi". Also, muzzle "brake" not "break".

[@winmyint4642]

Can you make for me too please

[@Hammam-Alharith]

can 13x1 fit on 1/2-28 thread?

[@NorCalOutdoor]

I don't think so. You will need a thread adapter

[@winmyint4642]

Where you live my ?

[@johns1834]

Wow. No way I would expose my barrels to this kind of treatment.

[@johns1834]

@Null Yes, it is. That's the the entire purpose.

[@charlescouncill]

This is painful.

[@alexbarredo1399]

go to machine shop please😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@samuelglenn5006]

Sloppy

[@Nsane211]

nooo, not by hand. there a tool. don't be cheap

[@jamesconnolly8342]

You just ruined that cheap rifle.

[@NorCalOutdoor]

Nope, it is still working better
