I'm looking to cut my Bergara B-14 in 308 down to 16 inches and thread it. I dropped it off with local gunsmith yesterday and he said no problem, he'll just have to thread it 1/2-28 and put on an adapter to get to 5/8-24. I didn't think anything of it yesterday but now that I think about it I'd prefer a direct thread and not having extra pieces if possible. It's a thick barrel (contour #4?) so not sure why he's cutting to 1/2.
Should I call my gunsmith to ask why 1/2?
Should I call another gunsmith to see if they'd do 5/8 thread?
Are thread adapters not an issue?
