Title: Re: Norwegian Krag screws Post by sixfive on Feb 28th, 2020 at 12:19am
Hello,
Thanks for the information. I had wondered about Whitworth threads as well. I can't figure out how to post pictures at this point but, I can give some dimensions. I am no machinist at all but, I am in the process of making some stock inletting guide screws and a replacement extractor retaining screw for a 1912 and 1894. The outside diameter of the action screw threads is .240-.250". The outside diameter of the extractor screw threads is .150". At first I did not think a 1/4-20NC die would work for the action screws but after threading some 1/4" rod it appears it threads into the action OK. Good enough for guide screws anyway. As for the extractor retaining screw the closest die I found was M4-.75. It is not a perfect fit but may serve the purpose. I was just hoping someone might know offhand what the Norwegian Krag-Jorgensen used. Thanks again for the information and any additional information is greatly appreciated. Regards, sixfive |
