Possible to re-thread and freak a barrel?

[Bogey Fett]

I’d like a freak bored brass barrel (with proper Hammer-spec threads not Spyder) on my Hammer. I have a brass Pro Lite(?) barrel. Is there some wizard out there that can make this happen?

Stock Hammer barrel on the right.

Brandon at BMC fabrication is my recommendation

I've asked Brandon (BMC) and he will not bore a brass barrel. The material is too soft.

dang thats crazy. most machinists i know only have problems when material is too hard (stainless)
aluminum and brass are supposed to be easy

JeeperCreeper may be able to make you something. He has become pretty slick in his shop.

*zooms in on picture* is the threading on that brass barrel soldered on? if so it likely can't be bored, better to start from scratch

[JeeperCreeper]

I can make one, but I'll need to source the threaded section. Pm me, maybe we can figure something out.

Talk to Deadlywind, they'll probably sell you the front portion that their adapters thread onto. 21mm OD tube fits with a bit of sanding.

Yeah that might be one route. I'll ask a couple of the machinists here as well.

If you live in new england, i may be able to help you out. Otherwise anyone with a thread-cutting lathe will be able to do it for you
