Large Ring Mauser
Those of you who asked me to tell you how we repaired the threads in the front of my 98 Mauser action. The second thread had some bad spots, and I was looking for a tap. After closer study, we used a small cutting wheel on a small dremel tool. We used an old Mauser barrel with good threads, smoked it with candle smoke to find the hi spots, buffed them with the dremel. Worked like a champ, barrel screws in perfectly.

What is the size and thread pitch for barrel threads for a 98 Mauser?
I tried to screw a barrel into a 98 I'm building and found the second thread inside the receiver in buggered. I'm trying the figure out where to get a die, so I can fix it.
Thanks for looking.

Got it figured out, 1-12, Brownell's is pretty proud of their taps.
The second thread is the only one buggered, the rest are fine. Talked to Floyd in The Dalles Or, he said that you can safely remove the first three threads without having any problems. I' think we'll give that a shot.0 -
Ahhh, I love it when a plan comes together!![:)][8D] 0 -
Wait a minute, I thought my reply suggesting that was totally off the wall and WRONG!! That's why I said patience, it'll go. Cheaper than $100.00 deposit + $24.00 rental. As long as you're name isn't Bubba... I had faith in you!! Glad it worked out> Al \\ PS Another trick I learned from my boss back in mfg and later in the machine shop is if you slit the threads on an old barrel, in other words cut a sharp slot, it will act as somewhat of a homemade half-a tap, just got to watch the pressure, and DO NOT GALL the threads!! 0
