PISTOLS require Next-Day-Air shipping if sent UPS or FedEx and may not be sent through the USPS by individuals. Rifles may be sent via USPS or UPS. We suggest sending slide and barrel only for most handguns, avoiding the next-day air charges.
RIFLES, remove scopes, scope rings, bipods, etc. For bolt-action rifles we
strongly recommend leaving the rifle in its stock, or removing the trigger assembly altogether for shipment. The trigger assembly is fragile and will often break in shipping regardless of how well it is packaged. Leaving the action in its stock protects the trigger.
AR15-TYPE UPPERS do not require removal of the barrel in most cases. You may send the entire upper, minus the bolt carrier group and any rail mounted accessories.
RUGER 10/22 TAPERED BARRELS can be threaded, but the front sight will be removed to make it an optics-only rifle. If you prefer to have the front sight "rescued" modified, and re-installed, an additional $25 labor charge is optional - select your preference from the pull-down menu under "thread size" options to choose either standard 1/2-28 threading without a front sight, or "RUGER 1022, 1/2-28 w/ front sight" to have the sight modified and re-installed.
RUGER MINI-14 CARBINES require additional setup time and are charged an additional $65 to thread.
NOTE: The options listed below represent our most commonly requested barrel threading services. If you need threading that is not listed below, or have an uncommon firearm, please call us first to verify that we can perform the work and for a price quote.
