Need nonstandard thread protector

kwill · Post by **kwill** » Fri Jul 07, 2017 8:18 am

Can you recommend a shop to make a non-standard thread protector? It is 7/16 x 24 TPI, OL 1/2".

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

cnc warrior may could make it.

TROS could definately make it, but he's so far behind in orders that you probably won't see it any time in the 2017 calendar.

CNC Warrior said they don't do custom work.

One last try for help from someone who can suggest a solution or a shop that can make a one-off thread protector.

I can make what you need, send me a PM if you're interested. I'll have the same questions as Propeine about OD, material choice, and knurling.

That's a more or less standard Hex nut size or brake line fitting thread, so it seems like turning down a nut or fitting should be fairly trivial. Or am I am missing something here? Sounds like about 10 minutes of work on a mini-lathe.

OK, but I don't have the skills or the tools (mini-lathe). A couple of people have offered to help then they go silent. Not sure why. It is a rare, historically important pistol so I guess I'll put a standard nut on it to protect the threads until I can find a better solution.

I got your email once I got home from work about an hour ago. That's not really "going silent".

Propeine was first so I'll let him take this one.

I've not received a paycheck? Sadly I'm not even "in the industry" which I actually wish I were but not enough to move cross country.

I'd do it on the side if it weren't for ITAR. *sigh*

ditto...well that and zoning but mostly ITAR

I did it. For a long time.

Dealing with itar was a lot easier than dealing with stupid people.

purely a cost thing for me. 500 over 3 years or whatever it amounts to means I can bum around doing extra work basically when I feel like it as long as I show some profit/effort to the ATF. ITAR means I have to find work to actively pay for it.

Still need help with this if anyone is interested.

Did yall figure it out.

I can make aluminum thread protectors pretty easily, I am not a vendor, I'm just a hobbiest and am not sure how this board works if there are vendor requirements.

yondering · Post by **yondering** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 2:28 pm

There are a bunch of us here that could do it. At least a couple of us quit offering to help when the OP was being an impatient dick.
