Racepres Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 I find myself with a good looking 8mm 98 Barrel, that needs the threads Chased.. so Searching for either a Chasing Die, or a Thread File. Would prefer to Rent, borrow, Steal.... as I hope I only do this Once!!! Anybody have even an Idea how I can address this?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 This one: https://www.amazon.com/General-Tools-177-1-Thread-Repair/dp/B000BOAU32/ has a 12 TPI side in there. Finding a die would be more challenging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racepres Posted March 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 ^^ Yes...Thanks... what I was thinking about... I was Sure I had one Once... But, it was probably previous to my "unfortunate incident" so... may have left home!!! Thanks for the leg work!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z1r Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 Probably easier and certainly more accurate to find a machinist to single point chase those threads. A die that size will be pricy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have access to a nice lathe, also have plenty of Tomato Stakes to practice on... Never know!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipping is getting to be prohibitive... Will Check it out, as I may be needing a Reamer anyways.. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzRednek Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 I just went and looked $35 seems fair with Brownells getting about $170 + shipping but $12.95 shipping for the rental is BS. I didn’t follow up but I imagine they require a hefty deposit for the rental. Have you tried eBay or Amazon for used?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
