M22x.75 tap

[ML Roak 0]

I'm working on a new muzzle break for my S-12 and am not having much luck finding a tap to cut the threads with (my poor old Southbend doesn't do Metric). Anybody got a good source for these beasties (WHY didn't they use M22x1, it would have saved me a lot of trouble).

Thanks,

Those are just dies, if he is making his own muzzle brake, he is probably trying to make the threads on the inside of the brake, so he needs the tap. M22 x .75 tap is not going to be cheap. The few places I've ordered taps from, do not even carry that size.

I had mine made at tapcousa.com

I don't remember how much it was....but I think it was over $100.

Yeah they are custom made and not cheap.

My Atlas will turn metric threads but I prefer using a tap.

 

Shoot me an email if you need some help with it.

Thanks Dinzag,

I might just take you up on that.

More later.

Believe the TapcoUSA die is about $150, maybe more.

I've thought about making one for my own use. It wouild entail making a threading blank out of the appropriate tool steel, after removing the hardness out of it. Thread it, mill the clearing grooves, and re-harden it. Something to that effect...

eBay... less than $50.

[Turbo.M777 11]

^yup, I got mine on ebay too. I think the best price was like 57 when I got it.

 

Edit: I actually bought and used mine just to clean out the threads in my gas block after I cerakoted it and some paint got in there. (doesnt dissolve with solvents) If you want it, I'll sell it to you for cheaper. PM me if youre interested.
