1st time barrel threading this is all I get. Yes I'm turning counter clockwise and it's 14mm, see calipers pic. TAT face is about 1/2 way through the die..
It just rounds off the top and won't bite.
This is a piece of chopped barrel from a barrel-less AK kit that I'm using for practice. I've cut it down and tried threading it three times.... I'm so pissed. Why won't it thread?
