screw cut how much does it cost

[old keeper]

Mike Norris has done a few for me, first class workmanship, well worth the money. There is some good You Tube footage of Mike at work, check it out.

Nigel Tegue Wotton under Edge , Glos did mine about a year ago £100 +vat proffed! Turn around was a week.. Good people to deal with. Recomended. 01454 260226

I was a victim of a poor quality screw-cutting job that bordered on the dangerous. Steve Kershaw sorted it out for me - he did an excellent rescue job, very quickly and at a reasonable price (although I wasn't the one paying!). Go by recommendation alone; everything else pales into insignificance when you're rifle has potentially been ruined.

My engineering background is 43 years long and I would say that if the bore is off centre it should not matter because a decent lathe turning operator will put the tube between centres on his lathe with at the muzzle end the use of a rotating centre (turns with the tube so it gets no wear) to avoid damage to the crown.

Sorry Martin but a bore that off centre means that there is no shoulder one side for the moderator to screw up against once the thread was turned to the threads major diameter. Plus there is also the fact that the bullet would be entering the moderator at an angle even then as the bore was not straight. A running centre only aligned the very end of the bore where it met the new fae oft he muzzle and a few millimetres back the bore was of course curving in an arc.

Mike Norris did 2 for me while I waited one Saturday morning, obviously un-proofed
not that I intend to sell any of the rifles anyway ( well not in my lifetime)
But a Quality job from a quality craftsman from my experience

+1 Neil Mckillop
Based in Basingstoke so quite near me he is an excellent riflesmith and I would not take my rifles anywhere else. A nice guy too . His insurance insist that rifles he cuts are proofed but worth it for the job he does.

For a good job I have paid £80. Both times from our Steve Kershaw. What a cracking chap. He nearly gave me a heart attack last time, I popped back to York for a weekend telling my SO that it would take a couple of days for the job. He called an hour after dropping the rifle off saying I could pick it up. The night out with the lads ruined....

I have rifles by McKillop and Redmist but haven't had seperate jobs done by either. As could be expected the quality of engineering is top on both. It all depends on where you are in the county as to where your rifle will go.

 

[Cyres]

+1 for Teagues, he kinows what he is doing and mine was proofed as well.

Kershaw's work is excellent and quick, I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone.

Lot's of other guys mentioned here have great reputations, but I only go to Kershaw.

The last rifles I had done were both C/F's, having learned my lesson I took them both to Mike Norris, he did an excellent job on both.

Had 4 rifles done by Mike over the years, definitely worthwhile paying a bit more for a job well done by someone you can trust. Last two were barrel chopped, screw cut, invisible thread protectors, match crowning and re-threading a moderator to suit - £230.

+1 on Steve Kershaw, pleasant, reasonably priced and quick. Couldnt ask for a better transaction.. I had him build a custom rifle a year ago, took it back for a 'checkup' this year, he cleaned and checked the bore, cleaned and reset the trigger and tweaked the mag for me while i drank his coffee and chatted.. the charge.. nothing. All part of the service.. (custom rifles dont come cheap but still..)

Ive had 2x rifles cut and rethreaded/recrowned in record time.. his invisible thread caps are something else too.

Ivythorne Sports charges £65 for threading

im sure Neil Mckillop does there work for them. so you know it will be done right and 1st class.

living up here in the Midlands i use Richard pope of swift rifles. prices are good. and workmanship 1st class.
