[QUOTE="Joe2Kool, post: 5382661, member: 1621"] I paid $99 per barrel. I bought the can from Silencer Central, and that's what they charged to thread them. I was concerned with shipping my guns and having them damaged, lost, or not back in time to sight them in for gun season, so I talked to a local gunsmith about it. He was concerned the barrel OD was too small. I had read several things about issues with barrel threading not matching the can, so I decided to have SC thread them. That way, if there was an issue, there wasn't a third party involved leaving me screwed, pun intended. As far as barrel OD and remaining wall thickness, I figured there have been thousands of cans installed on Remington 700s. I way overanalyzed it, but talked to different can manufacturers and hopefully I got it right! Don't have the can yet. It's going thru the ATF approval process. Oh, thanks to responses about applying lube. Very familiar with Never Seize. And yes, a little can go a long way!! [/QUOTE]
