I contacted JES during the week, and Jesse called me back today Sat about my Mauser:
He told me he does not do suppressor threading, so it would be best for me to remove the barrel, cut it, thread for suppressor, re-profile it from the heavy/varmint style, re-install it (lightly, as JES has to remove it anyway for his boring process), and then send the whole thing to him to rebore and headspace. He said if it was a Savage rifle (nut barrel) I would only have to send the barrel.
Unless anyone has a better idea, my plan is to buy the correct action wrench - $60 on Amazon:
Wheeler 808771 Action Wrench, 1 Mauser/Flat
I don't have a barrel bench tool either, but I am thinking about "making something suitable" out of steel I have on hand. Anyone has done their own as well that can give me some advice?
