ive threaded well over 100 barrels for myself and other people.. ive found the best way to get it right is to build a jig(aka setup tool) that inserts in the barrel so that u can locate off the i.d. of the barrel i have never picked up a barrel that the i.d. and o.d. were true to each other... But i can say that the smiths r pretty close... i did go ahead and put an 11* target crown back on mine causr the 1/2-28 threads leave a sharp edge with the recess that is cut from the factory... and i may need some help on those pics havent figured it out yet lol

Threading Barrels
I agree 100% that the I.D. and O.D. are almost never concentric. Thats why I use an indicator in the bore and not on the barrel O.D. plus a 4 jaw lathe chuck gets you right on the money. I did the same crown on the muzzle, for the same reason.
Maybe you should advertise your services. I bet you would get a lot of work from 15-22 owners.
For the pics, Use the "go advanced" reply. At the top, there is a paperclip. That is where you can attach pics that are on your computer, to the post. If you have pics online, photobucket for instance, use the mountain with a little sun, and it will ask for the URL of your image. The paperclip images are the little ones in the posts and the mountain / sun are the large images.

as far as details go... i work for a class II weapon manuf. on my days off from my real job and in my free time i monkey with my own stuff... i had the rifle less than 1 hr before me and the mad scientist tore it apart and started dreaming stuff up for it... i really like the attention the gsg-5sd gets at the range so i threaded the barrel 1/2-28 and made the can to copy that look.. it really balances the rifle out in looks and feel... its made from a piece of t6 billet aluminum and ive played with the weight till it feels like i think it should... right now its just painted but it will be duracoated this week (simular to the coating on a h&k mp5) we do alot of threading barrels for people with legal suppressors so we r tooled to do it right.. hope every1 likes the pics and if i can help any1 on here let me know

Good information never goes out of date.
