just witnessed a master machinist do his work !!

Very nice work. As a starting Gunsmith myself it's great to see the work of other gunsmiths. Very inspirational.

Thanks to you for making all these interesting videos! Would be great to see even the crown process. Thanks again!

Great job! It's good that you have a valuable skill in machining and gunsmithing.

Thanks for posting such an educational video. As a hobby machinist and firearms enthusiast I appreciate your level of craftsmanship. If I ever get out to TX, I would like to stop by and visit your shop if possible.

Very nice job, thanks for sharing. Especially like the thread protector

Nicely done...beautiful end product...very classy.

Nice work, and I loved the music.

I love seeing the work of artisans. Thumbs up!

Nice work. This almost inspires me to get back to learning the lathe!

Good work bro!! Looks beautiful

You made a really nice thread protector there. Nice work. The new thing is putting the front sight back on the frame and cutting the barrel way back to just 2 inches.

That was muy sick! Gorgeous product!

Beautiful workmanship!

2 cool....outstanding work as usual Johnny!

That was magic to watch. awesome attention to detail. My Mark 1 is on the way to you...

Great video and music. I always wanted to see how it's done and now I know. Plan on getting my Mark cut and threaded.

Nice work! Thanks for the vid.

good looking work man

Murtz60, thanks for watching. we have lots of new cool videos coming soon. good luck with the lathe work...

we try hard to make things look easy.... thank you....

thank ou for the info. thank you for watching...

Amazing craftsman

Uma das mai interessantes Pistolas que já tive,a inteligência usada é realmente invejável.

thank you, good luck...

RobyAds, great idea. I might try that...

very cool... thanks!!!

This is exactly what I want to do to my mark III target pistol

thank you...

yes with a chuck. mabe a life center. hope this helps...

wow thats good looking work not all screwed up like most i have seen here looked great

Master!

cool, thank you...

Wow, great job!

i felt like having mexican food after watching this ...really cool

thanks, good luck if you do...

I see the great quality of your workmanship and I have a Ruger 22/45 Mk lll and I was wondering how much it would cost me if I wanted to do have the same machining done in this video but with the barrel the length of the sight (1.5") past the receiver plus the threaded end and the sight re-tapped and drilled.

Very nice work! How do you secure the barrel when turning? Just in the chuck, with a dog between centers? Just curious, and always looking to see if there's something I can pick up from someone who does good quality work.

RobysAds, yes it may cause some damage. we go back afterwards and re crown it. thanks for watching...

i used a internal threading tool. .5 and smaller. hope this helps. thanks for watching...

Nice work Dude! I wanna know if in your experience using a tailstock inside the barrel can cause damage to the rifling, especially in a delicate part as the muzzle is. Thanks in advance.

Ironheart Fabrication, that's what the customer requested. thanks for watching...

Louis Gray thanks for watching...

After watching this I feel comfortable having this done. Can you give me a quote for one of these and a 92fs barrel?

Video and guitarist both a 10.

looks awesome. how long from start to finish?

Wow, at 2:15 the holes don't look like the Y zeros were the same for each hole. Did the drill walk? And was that a CNC turning center you used for threading and end cap? Thanks!

thank you, not realy sure...

master craftsman - music was great too-what is the cost of this service?

How much would a job like that cost ??

spraynpray, thanks for watching...

How much to do the same thing to my ruger 10/22? I need about two inches off the end and then threaded

was always told you needed oil to drill hardened steel like that barrel.

i never remove the barrel of the upper receiver. you might need to check out Brownells videos...

Great video... How far back did you set the front sight? What thread is the front sight? How far back did you turn your 1/2-28 threads?

great, if you have any furthe question please feel free to contact us. thanks for watching georgeof78...

I noticed you are not using anything to protect the finish of the barrel while it is in the vise or in the lathe chuck, why is that? Also how are you insuring that the new tapped hole for the front sight is at true top dead center of the barrel? I ask this because the factory hole and the hole you drilled do not look to be in alignment.

Why shorten the barrel? 6" is a good target length...?

dosnt the live center rec the rifling at the crown

hello twowheelinjim61, your welcome to stop by any time...

Now how's that .17 coming along?

I was wondering can you custom built a pistol threaded barrel for me??...?.

Sir there are NO videos out there on how to remover the barrel from the receiver... NOT THE LOWER FRAME. I am searching for the vid as to how to remove the barrel.

mai vue, depends on what it is...

You're not supposed to back off with a reamer only a tap remember, otherwise it will break/blunt.

Are you not going to Crown the barrel

@jcsguns Sometimes i forget as well lol

I'd be willing to pay you to do this to my ruger mark iii/iv, most likely iv. what state do you live in? This is a serious offer as i would really like to have a threaded barrel for a future suppressor on my ruger mark iii/iv(want to sell the iii to get a iv). the only thing is is that i dont want the barrel to be shortened at all. some shortening i imagine is necessary but i really dont want it a full inch shorter.

jzehn7, I will have Lara contact you. thanks for watching...

Where's my TACOS for the Music in the Beginning...

sorry, i have one already...

واو

those chipbreakers dont work very well, building a birdsnest

1GUNSQUIRREL, that's one advantage of being Mexican...

Thanks, jzehn7. E-mail me to johnnyscustomgun@aol.com and I can prepare an estimate for you.

funny u ask?
