[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 972415, member: 2736"] Yes, the threads need to be trued while in the lathe because most may have tapered threads and as the barrel makes up they may get tighter or looser. if anything it removes all of the dope they apply when they barrel up an action also. The industry uses lots of taps instead of single pointing them and the fit is not as good as it should/could be. Lots of muzzle brakes are taped also and have the same problem. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
