Jmeddy once you get your barrel ready be it a false or overtightened thread protector. You might find this interesting.
Now in this I'm using rimfire cans. But the same hold true for centerfire.
I mentioned that I had just gotten a SilencerCo Sparrow to augment (backup /act as loaner if need be) to my OCL Ti 22. I also noted the POI shift with the Ti 22, so today I decided to do a shoot off between the two solely for the sake of accuracy on my Savage MkII with a 16.5" heavy barrel from the factory. Once I started with the evaluation quickly it showed the Ti 22 was indeed more accurate with CCI Std Velocity. So while the Sparrow showed no POI shift, which normally one would assume it to be the best choice. When shot against each other the OCL Ti 22 groups was half the size with the same host and ammo. So the obvious choice was made, the Ti 22 stay on the Savage MK II for the Gopher hunting and target usage. The sparrow is now a backup, and for other hosts such as the Ruger MK III 22/45.
Ohhh I failed to read this part...... Crap Brother wish you lived close to me....
but was told by Ruger today that it IS NOT!!!
Barrel already has almost 400 rounds of Varget rounds through it and the last RAR I had started losing accuracy at just over 750 with Varget down the tube.
Ruger huh? easy solution find a drop in barrel from your barrel maker of choice, all ready chambered and threaded. Just needing to be installed and headspaced, wha-la ready to go to shoot fresh barrel good threads can can screw on. Life is good.
No need to be absolutely embarrassed I promise you I and many on here have done more stupider things in the past that we don't talk about.
The beauty of this option is a fresh barrel rounds count for the new can.
Or simply take it to a smith and have the barrel threaded, they will recrown and cover up all the mistakes. Depending on how far back you tell them to go is how much barrel loss. Freshing the crown will usually help the barrel life a bit, not much but a bit.
Can it be a pain in the Arse? yeah if the seller and the buyer makes it so (provided it's within the same state, and then their is state laws which could complicate it).
OR if out of state at which point it would be a dealer to dealer etc etc then to new customer and each dealer in the two differing state would want a cut of money which most likely the buyer would want the seller to cover.
OR see if I can get a refund on the can.
If the paperwork or e-filing has been submitted IDK your dealer, but I'm venturing a flat no will be the answer. Could you sell it to a individual probably if they are within the state although the paperwork would need to be done by you. Yes it would involve paperwork, a dealer worth his salt would be more than willing to talk you through the process. Would you get your most of your money back IDK, never shot, I would think so in a individual to individual transfer.
