Clean-Up Barrel Threads

[bsekf]

I can't find a 1.055x20 tpi die. I galled the threads on a barrel removing the nut. I need a 1.055x20 die, Midway has them, but a new barrel will be cheaper. Does anybody rent them?

Have you tried McMaster.com? They have a little bit of everything.

Hi,
Saw this, keep it open all the way and should work!

Still not cheap to fix a screw up!

A gunsmith may not charge to much to put the barrel in his lathe and pick up and "chase" the thread???

Your local auto parts should have a thread file.. it will have 20 tpi and other pitches.. used one many time to save the end of a motorcycle crank shaft.

Yep ! What LinemanBob said !

A thread file is a magical tool indeed.

They can cost as little as $10 or $15

A huge PLUS ONE on the thread file.

I saw my first one over 50 years ago. Have had one of each, SAE and Metric, in my tool box for at least 40 years. A lot easier to find than a die and a lot easier to carry than a lathe

They will definitely save one's bacon.

You are looking for a horse by a different name. You don't want a 1.055x 20tpi....you want a 1-1/16 x 20 tpi. That's the correct pitch diameter.

If you galled the O.D., you probably need to chase the I.D. also. I have a tap for loan somewhere around here. PM me.
