Muzzle/Barrel Threading Services at Rachel Precision
In the world of precision shooting, every detail matters—and that includes the muzzle of your rifle. Muzzle threading is an essential service for anyone looking to attach devices like suppressors, muzzle brakes, or compensators to their firearm. At Rachel Precision, we offer expert muzzle threading services designed to ensure the proper alignment, stability, and performance of your rifle’s muzzle accessories.
Accurate muzzle threading is critical for several reasons:
- Improved Recoil Control: Muzzle brakes and compensators are designed to reduce recoil and muzzle rise, making it easier to maintain your target acquisition for follow-up shots. Properly threaded muzzles ensure these devices function efficiently, providing more control over your rifle.
- Noise Reduction: Suppressors significantly reduce the noise of a gunshot, making shooting more comfortable and less disruptive, especially during extended sessions. Muzzle threading is essential for ensuring your suppressor fits perfectly, minimizing gas leakage and maximizing noise reduction.
- Customization and Versatility: A properly threaded barrel gives you the flexibility to switch between different muzzle devices depending on your shooting needs, whether for competitions, hunting, or range shooting.
Our Precision Muzzle/Barrel Threading Process
At Rachel Precision, we approach every muzzle threading project with the same level of detail and precision that goes into all of our custom rifle work. Here’s how our process works:
1. Barrel Inspection and Measurement
The first step in muzzle threading is a thorough inspection and measurement of your rifle’s barrel. We check for any existing damage or imperfections that might affect the threading process. Accurate measurement is crucial for ensuring that the threads are cut at the proper pitch and diameter for your specific muzzle device.
2. Precision Machining for Accurate Threads
Once we’ve inspected the barrel, our expert machinist use precision lathes and cutting tools to create the threads. The alignment of the threads is critical; even the slightest misalignment can cause performance issues with your muzzle device, such as suppressor baffle strikes or improper muzzle brake function. We ensure the threading is cut to exacting standards so your accessories will screw on smoothly and securely.
3. Thread Pitch and Size Customization
Muzzle devices come in various thread pitches and sizes, depending on the manufacturer and application. Whether you need a standard 1/2×28 thread for a .223/5.56 rifle or a larger 5/8×24 thread for .308 and similar calibers, we can customize the thread pitch to match your exact needs. We also offer metric threading for European and specialized firearms.
4. Precision Alignment for Suppressors and Muzzle Brakes
Alignment is critical when threading a barrel for a suppressor or muzzle brake. Even a minor misalignment can cause issues like suppressor baffle strikes, which can damage both your suppressor and your barrel. We use specialized alignment tools to ensure that your muzzle threads are perfectly concentric to the bore of the rifle, allowing for flawless attachment and optimal performance of your suppressor or brake.

I’ve been shooting Rachel Precision Rifles for almost 2 years now and i’ve been shooting PRS matches for the past 3 years and I couldn’t ask for a better gunsmith. Whether that’s in products, customer service, or in hospitality. I’ve never gotten a barrel that didn’t shoot lights out from Randy and he still try’s to learn and critique things with each one. They are always looking to make better products and progress in the shooting community. They are incredible people and they work there hardest to put in as much effort into what they do and it’s amazing. They are also huge in the shooting community, they call and ask how things went after every match Randy is always looking for feedback and most importantly they love when you’re successful with their barrels. I’m so honored to represent them and I couldn’t be more thankful for Randy Rachel and Neely Rachel.
Having a great gunsmith is pretty much paramount to be successful in PRS. It took me a few years to find Randy but you will have to search for years to find someone with the perfect storm of great qualities Randy brings to the table. From machine work that closely resembles art, to the quality equipment he uses, add in his vast knowledge and how meticulousness he is with every detail and all done in a timely fashion. That is Rachel Precision. I've been fortunate to get to know Randy the last couple years and can truly call him a great friend that just so happens to be in my opinion one of the top gunsmiths there is. I'm probably easily 20 barrels in with all the variants we have tried and even the worst barrel was capable of winning any PRS match out there. So this review isn't just someone who happened to get 1 great barrel.
First and foremost Randy is a stand up gentleman. His attention to detail is second to none. He is a pleasure to work with. Every barrel I have received has been a hammer. The piece of mind that his quality of work brings is awesome. Do your self a favor and give him a shot.
I have been competing in NRL22 & PRS Rimfire for almost 4 years now. I have owned and shot many factory built Rimfire rifles. None of them compare to the rifle Rachel Precision built me with a Brux barrel. The attention to detail is amazing. The action is butter smooth and it chambers a round like a dream. I have not found a lot of Quality Match Rimfire ammo it does not like. It has made me push my limits as a shooter in every match I shoot. I now have a rifle that does not make me second guess my abilities as a shooter. Rachel Precision will build you a rifle that dreams are made of. You will no regrets your decisions to have him build your dream.
I’ve been competing in PRS for 2 years, and after switching to a custom-built rifle from Rachel Precision, my performance has never been better.

The balance, precision, and smooth action have given me the confidence to push my limits in every competition. Rachel Precision's custom rifle has proven itself to be an elite performer. Highly recommended for any serious competitor.
