Does anyone know of a shop/gunsmith who will work on a melonited barrel?
I have a carbine gassed 16 inch barrel I need cut down to 11.5" and then threaded for a FH.
Those with experience please advise.

Contact dolomite_supafly
There has been great feedback about his work. If he is too busy send me a PM and I can assist you.
Does your barrel already have a pistol gas port drilled?

It's not really much harder to turn a melonited barrel than it is any other really.
When those totally ignorant of firearms make laws, you end up with totally ignorant firearm laws.

It can be sand blasted off, sanded off with a sander or sand paper, or any other sanding media. It is like case hardened parts. It still is harder at first on a lathe or a mill. Once you are through the first few thousandths then the treated area is gone.

adcofirearms will probably do it, but may be more expensive.

Spoke to Adco, they told me they will not work on melonited barrels. To hard on tools.

They must not have a blast cabinet.
