I have choices that have risks in this .
I took a Savage apart ,not a big deal. The problem comes in with the bead blasting grit that was trapped ina mount hole and galled the receiver threads . The simple solution is to just chase the threads .
No lathe available and no skill set . I'd have fixed it by now and made a couple of other modifications , it's an Axis.
A tap for the 1.055 x20 is $189 ...... Not for a tool I'll use once maybe 3x .
If I were to use it more than 5 times it would be cheaper to buy than to rent it . Really $36 for 7 days and $8 to send it back isn't bad for a $200 tool you'll only use once .
The 1.055 is the problem not the 20 TPI . It's just an SAE thread not some weird shape or odd depth .
My thought tonight while I was finding a new never project I don't want was to simply cleanup the barrel nut place a 1/2-20 taping the threads and fill it with Cerrobend . Unscrew the tap and plug and chase the threads when it cools . I only need it to last about 15 turns and I'm not really cutting a thread .
If I were certain about it he used up 06' barrel I'd just lop off the threads and cut 3-6 grooves in it and chase it that way.
.
So is the poured lap with a cutter viable ?
should I try just a poured lap and use Clover paste ? I feel like it would eat the lap ...
