hodge911 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) hi all I need a big help!! . does any nice person in the north east have a 1/2" unf x 20 die they want to sell or that I may use to put thread on an adapter I,m getting made for my air rifle to be able to put a mod on . I have ordered one off the bay but even though the seller was listed as a UK seller the *** is in flaming Hong Kong ..

manton Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I find that one of the best places to buy dies is Tracy Tools, in Dartmouth, they are on the internet. Prices are about the lowest I could find even after extensive research and delivery is fast. If you intend to thread a rifle barrel for a moderator my advise is don,t do it it as is almost impossible to start a die square enough to the barrel bore without screw cutting it in a lathe.

I agree, if you don't have access to a lathe you'd be better off approaching a local small engineering company and ask them to machine and screw cut your barrel. I'd bet a twenty pound note would suffice, it'd wouldn't be a big job at all. A tea break job for a lathe operator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not almost impossible but pure fluke if you do, bore is not always concentric to the barrel od due to how barrels are made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
