Die to recut barrel threads.

[snowgetter1]

Hoping someone could post a link to die that will recut savage barrel threads. And, will the die work on both large and small shank barrels? FYI, I do not have access to a lathe. Thanks.

Brownells has both sizes. The small is 1.062 and the large is 1.120 I believe 20 threads per inch. In brownells description it will tell you what it fits. You will need 2 does as they aren't even close in size.

You can rent a small shank die thru 4D Reamer rental.

Ok. Thanks for the info.

Are you "chasing" or "cutting"?

If you are just repairing some damaged threads, a thread chase file may be a much better bet. I use them all the time and work and they can be had from ENCO for like $15 rather than an expensive die and 1 will fit both shank sizes as a file is not diameter specific only pitch specific. FWIW both shank sizes are 20 tpi.

Small Shank is 1.055"-20tpi
Large Shank is 1.120-20tpi

...and if you buy one get this type to clean up both internal and external threads.

Exactly what I was thinking there Bill. Didn't have a pic handy. Thanks.
