Barrel threading is one of the most vital parts of adequately setting up your host firearm for use with a suppressor. AWC Systems Technology has fabricated systems and tooling to insure correct fitting using class 3A specifications.
The 90 degree alignment shoulder is extremely important for proper barrel to suppressor engagement and is used as the alignment point for the complete system. After threading we check every job with calibrated Go/ No Go gauges to recheck our own work. Finally, AWC fabricates a thread protector that goes over the thread when the suppressor is not being used. The finishing and detail work, make most barrels look unmodified.
Many experienced machinists are capable of threading a barrel; however, if they elect to not use thread gauges you should question as to why, and ask how they insure the threads are within spec.
It is legal, under Federal law, to ship a personal firearm to a licensed dealer such as AWC Systems Technology for repair purposes. However, the repaired firearm must be returned to the same address from which it was received.
