A thead file would work well. Not very expensive either.

If it is slight damage, a small triangular file works well. Some folks already have one in their tool box. Standard thread pitch is 60* and that just happens to be the same as the file.
However I really like the tool geargrinder suggested. Very easy to use and hard to over do it. They have saved my behind on many occasions like bearing lock nuts...but that is another tale.
Good luck.

You can buy a die that is specifically made for the Savage barrel threads. You'll crap yourself when you see the price though.

I have a tap that size I use after I mount scopes. It puts threads in the scope mount screws that are a bit long.
Trent,
I saw those and might as well buy another barrel lol.

At least that is my Philosophy.

That would actually be a class 3 fit. You would in no way want a class 1 fit, that would be looser than a hardware store bolt and nut. The savage barrel to receiver fit is a class 2 fit for production purposes.Quote:

You are correct. I meant to say "Class Three" but was distracted in my thinking. I hope I explained it in correctly in the rest of my post. My intent was to offer good advice not bad. Thanks for the correction MW.Quote:

Will a 1"x20 TPI split adjustable die work by leaving the adjustment screw open? It is only 0.05" difference. MSC has one.
