Squirrel45 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I have been looking over and through the archives and get mix results as to who can throat these. Some say they can't or won't others say it's easy. Is there anyone out there who has decent turnaround time for this service? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooster Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Don’t know about your particular barrel. If it has one of the coatings like black salt bath nitride it is extremely hard to do as the coating is hard and I mean hard. I had a faxon barrel with this coating and I had a throating reamer than couldn’t touch it. I had previously done a Barsto barrel and it took like 3 turns and done. I think Memphis Mechanic on these forums does these barrels with a special throater. This is why your getting mixed reviews. Easy to do if normal steel, extremely hard and expensive if barrel is coated with one of the DLC coatings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George16 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 MemphisMechanic did three of my Czechmate barrels. Stock/factory Czechmate barrels are not hardened like the shadow 2 barrels. Contact him. Turnaround was very quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regor Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I bought a throating reamer from Clymer Tool, cost $65 shipped and I did three Czechmate barrels myself + may still do some of my other CZ barrels as well; seems plenty sharp enough to do many more. I had never worked with a reamer before but found it to be pretty easy and did not see any appreciable drop in accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
