Are the threads on the barrel and nut 1 inch 20 tpi UNEF standard on the standard (not magnum) barrel?
Any tips and tricks on chasing the threads?

I have cleaned up threads on a barrel with a 3 corner file. Go slow and fit it into the action as You go.
Usually the problem is with the Receiver threads that can be cleaned up with a receiver tap...

I have also done what FW Conch suggests.
Thanks oldday, FW Conch and Zero333 for the replies and suggestions.
At $115(!) for the tap and $170(!!) for the die, I think I'm going to explore some other alternatives first.
Ouch, sounds like somebody forgot the front base screw.
You might be able to rent what you need.
I needed one years ago and was able to get a loaner.

nope
seems like a mean thing to accuse a fellow jeep jockey of
I was working on a Savage Stealth last year. Although I like the design of the rifle, the fit and finish of the action was a bit rough. The barrel threads were quite rough. I went over the threads lightly with a piece of #320 grit sandpaper. I then took some Mothers Chrome & Mag polish put it on the threads and screwed the barrel nut on and off a few times. Finally cleaning the threads (on the Barrel & nut) with a solvent, then a little grease. Surprising how much smoother the barrel nut went on. (Also did the same thing on the threaded muzzle end.)
Might want to look into a set of thread files?They are excellent at dressing external threads.An ebay search will give lots of choices
Thanks Keith A. and racer55 I have some #320 and Mothers on hand. I'll probably finish up with those.
I'm picking up a thread repair tool from Ace tomorrow that has 20TPI teeth on it. I don't think the thread is buggered up enough to require re-tapping, just some burrs that I'd like to clean up.
