Threading a 12.5" Dlask Barrel

[BigUglyMan]

Has anyone ever had their 12.5" Dlask barrel threaded for choke tubes? Is it doable or not worth the trouble. Thought it would make for a very handy turkey gun if only it was choked tightly.

Ask Casey At Tac Ord, he's the shotgun guru. He's built everything and anything.

you can get a great pattern that is suitable for turkey hunting.it takes some experimenting with chokes and different loads . it is worth the effort to get it tapped and any competent gun smith or machine shop would be able to do it .it works for me and mine came already threaded for Remington chokes.

Dlask threaded my 8.5 inch to accept Remchokes (extended or regular ) . Haven't patterned it yet bu Dlask does a great job !

How much did it cost you and how long did it take for them to thread it?

I ordered mine with choke tubes so it is definitely doable.

Should not be a problem. As long as you have enough wall thickness.

The dlask barrels are the thickest (and heaviest) out there. Any gunsmith can thread for most commonly available chokes, just decide what brand you want to use. Most gunsmiths list prices for choke threading in their brochures or website, $150 sounds about right

Yes, the Dlask are thick & heavy. However, the thickest & heaviest is the NEA barrel. Now that sucker is a real beast.

IIRC, they only made one run of SG barrels, didn't they?

I'll have find my bill but turn around time was fast . It was awhile back . Just PM them . Their response is quick too .

I sent Leigh an email yesterday but with the long weekend I’m not expecting a quick reply, let me know when you find your receipt.

Dlask charged me $100 to thread it before shipping it out.
