Not sure if this has been posted before.  I am not affiliated with them in any way.

Found them when I was restoring a 1927 LeFever single barrel trap gun with a broken hammer spring support rod that had #7-38 threads.

Might be useful when you have a old screw that has buggered threads.

This would allow Kragsters the ability to repair threads, and reproduce the odd thread screws used on Krags!  Great post!

That was my thought.  I do a lot of restoration work on old guns on the side, and this site has saved me a few times. Smiley

To have a custom tap built will be very expensive, maybe a member here could become the tool loaner repository. If any one wants to take that on I will donate my 35/40 reamer to the cause.
