Ruger Mini 30 barrel threading

Quick question, I have a Ruger Mini 30 on which I want to attach a suppressor, does anyone on here know of a gunsmith in the Dallas Fort Worth area that might do the job? Thanks.

I have done a few. The barrel has to come off and the front sight boss moved rearward to get any decent thread on there. There is only room for 1/2-28 or 7/16-28 threads. The last one I did I had to make a split collar to press the sight off (to avoid damaging it) as it was galled tight to the SS barrel. Dont need to relocate the sight if you plan on using optics only. If you cant find anyone local, you can ship it to me.

kendog, thanks for the insight and if I don't find a local 'smith to do the job I'll be in contact.
