This is an interesting one 🥴 A customer dropped of a “paperweight” as they called it. Absolutely massive 10.5” AR bull barrel with a .875” journal, and a threading job where the major diameter is in the range of minimum 2A pitch diameter, among other dimensional issues. The fit was so loose that the customer’s suppressor shot off on the first round fired. Luckily it was undamaged. It’s been a week of questionable third party work coming in the shop. Must be a full moon.

I had been running a standard 1/2x20-28 adapter on my ****ms 71 for a good while now but disliked the added length and it being highly non-concentric on this platform. I decided to turn the barrel down to 3/8” and make a custom 1/2x28RH adapter that was much lower profile.

A customer brought her 45 in with the request for a Joker themed showpiece. This is what we came up with. Bright Purple and Mamba Green with custom laser engraving on the slide and grip frame.

Occasionally I’ll have a request for a barrel threading job that other shops aren’t willing to take on. I’m always up for a new challenge. This Urbino barrel was sent in from out of state to the cut, crown and thread 1/2x28RH for a SBR build. Required a little different setup for sure, but was able to work it out.
