    Convert to Freak Tip

    I have an old ACI Graffiti Barrel. I'm wondering if, and who, would be able to cut off the SS back, then thread what's left of the front to make it a freak tip?

    Pic attached with rough idead of where I'd like it cut. Just in front of the glued SS fitting.

    Any help or ideas is appreciated.

    That would be cool! Maybe shoot BMC a message.

        I know BMC can't do it, and possibly the rest can't either. I asked BMC to do something similar but the freak tip uses some kind of thread that isn't easy to do.

        BMC was able to thread it for a dye front. So I bought an acp freak dye back to use the tip.

          freak tips use multi start threads. Pretty much all small shop manual lathe guys can do it, but don't want to.
          dye tips are single start thread.

        Classic Freak is 16 pitch, 32 TPI dual lead. Mildly tricky at best. If you can't find anyone else to do it, I can.

        Is Super Staunchy still doing airsmith work? I had him thread a PMI Piranha bull barrel for a freak front some years ago.
