Does anyone know of a company that would be able to thread my 10/22 LTR barrel and retain/reattach the front sight? I'd like to use it as a suppressor host and still use it as an LTR :sos:
Several smiths on ebay offer threading service for between 120-135$ that keep the front sight. They also have adapters to slip over the barrel end to accomplish the same thing cost is between 25-40$.
Check with Que. While I've not had him to a thread & setback for me, I've been quite happy with his other machine work.
You can find other reviews of his work at RFC, Rimfireshooting & AR15.com. He's quite economical compared to some of the bigger machine shops. He does this in his off hours and loves the 22 platform.

Thanks Rusty. Que was mentioned on my local forum too.
Does Que do chamber work also?
Quieter and more accurate plus plus.

Yes sir, he does. I was happy with the barrels he rechambered for me. Once the barrel is rechambered, the notch for the barrel retainer needs to be shimmed up. He attaches a permanent shim into that notch. I torque to 22-25 inch-pounds and haven't had a problem with that shim coming loose.
Que lives in my home town... so I meet him at the local Walmart parking lot to get stuff done. Quick turn-around time.
how would I go about contacting Que? I assume he can do machining
Hi Legend,
You can email him at queboltwork@gmail.com.

Thanks Rusty
BTW Tech Sughts has a adapter for the .920 barrel that allows you to use the dovetail sights. It attaches with two set screws.
