Who does barrel rethreading?

Hi everyone

I really really want the scepter 2000 kit, simply because of the MANN test and just for collector values.

Of course right now the only thing available are the spyder kit or the ion kit.

Without resorting to a barrel adapter which kinda defeat the purpose of the insert, Should i get it rethread to cocker thread?

I thought i saw something before, but i couldn't find anyone who does the barrel rethreading, any idea?

Thanks

Spyder thread and stub is about as small a diameter as you can find. There's just not enough material on there to rethread to any other threading.

Changing to cocker threading is possible but it involves maching off the Spyder threads and then pressing or glueing on a sleeve that is then machined for cocker threads. This can be done only because cocker threads are the largest diameter threads and stub of the various options and there's enough meat left on a sleeve after threading to not just fall apart.

The cost for this would be up there though. I did one barrel that way and it was a lot of work.
