I have not cut anything yet, I have just removed the old barrel. I have a few things in mind when it comes to cutting that, One would be to use a right angle attachment on the Bridgeport, The other would be to use the Mini router on a tool post setup on the lathe. But I still haven't settled on the caliber for this one yet.How did you cut the "worm" around the chamber?
That is the drawing I have.
What does that mean?Yep, from the Trinidad mash-up.
Ahh, 10TPI square should not to bad,my advise is cut a practice thread, a square thread has a lot of surface area to cut. Make certain your set up is very very ridged & take very light cuts.Man i bet cutting a 10tpi sq gets interesting
Same as an '03A3. I was told to grind the tool .052" wide and cut the threads .052" deep. Straight in feed of course. Worked out on the one I did years ago.Man i bet cutting a 10tpi sq gets interesting

I've done a lot of mausers at 12TPI, It definitely moves a lot faster than Rem 700 for sure.Its not the tool its the tpi that scares me.
Left me in a quandary. Looked it up on Google. There is a song by that name. LOLOriginally from DeHass' book "Bolt Actions"
