Benchmark carbon barrel ?

[mikecockcroft]

Think i messed up buying this Benchmark carbon fiber barrel. I didn’t specify i wanted the extended shank on the muzzle end to be threaded for suppressor.
The shank extends 2 inches past the full diameter steel shoulder. It measures.640
Is the any reason i cant cut the .640 shank to .600 in length, turn down and thread to
5/8-24 ??

Call Benchmark

No shit Sherlock, You think they are open this weekend?
I'm hoping someone here has dealt with this so I can work on the barrel this weekend.

real classy.

Thats what happens when you make a smartass reply. Like I hadn't thought to call Benchmark.
Just opened the barrel this morning, really didn't want to wait till Monday to get an answer.
Apparently, you don't have an answer either so why waste everyone's time

Everyone’s so soft and sensitive

I don’t have a clue Mike, I’d scope it or use a pin gauge and make certain it’s not flared…if not, I’d try it. Never seen one with that short of a muzzle.

Or you could wait until Monday and call Benchmark, if you haven’t thought about that yet

Someone sent me this. This is how you answer someone’s question
Thank you friend. No maybe other folks will know what Benchmark advises

 

[mikecockcroft]

So the answer is yes you can thread the stub for muzzle devices. Proceeding on with the barrel two days ahead of schedule.
I bought this depth mic from someone on this site. I may be uneducated but my tools
were used by rocket scientist so maybe that’s something.

Call Benchmark

Ignore him Steve.
The 6-BR barrel and action work you did for me way back in 2000 has never shot a bad group. And, it shoots everything very well.
It's still the most accurate rifle I've ever owned.

Mike, you are lucky they left you some stock to get it down to your thread size.

The only problem is making sure you get the ID true where you want it.

Do you know what brand of barre blanks they use.?

I would imagine it is made by Benchmark. I've used some on hunting rifles and have one on a silhouette rifle. Good barrels. Never tried a wrapped barrel from them (or anyone else). WH
