Looking for Reputable Smith N. of Seattle for barrel threading.

[osprey]

As the title says I am looking for a good local smith N of Seattle for barrel threading work. Here is the caveat, I have used Benchmark barrels before and they did great work on a single shot 44 mag barrel but this is on a Marlin lever gun. Benchmarks cnc lathes are big and my barrel would have to be removed from the receiver to thread. The gun is very accurate and I would prefer not to disturb this junction. I would prefer to just strip the gun down to just the barrel and gutted reciever and have someone that could chuck it up with the receiver attached. A smaller precision lathe would be capable of doing this. Any recommendations are appreciated.

Doesn't exist. I just went through this myself. I just had my Tikka T3x threaded by USMachineGun in AZ. US Machinegun: Bolt Action Rifle Barrel Threading, BARREL THREADING, PINNING AND CROWNING, & RECEIVER THREADING SERVICES, BA-BT. I sent the barreled action and just go the rifle back yesterday, it took them 10 days door-to-door.

The only competent local machinist I found, Wynakos Machine in Monroe will thread it, but he wants the barrel removed from the receiver.
