[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1646232, member: 91783"] You can get bottom taps to cut the internal threads on the brake and clean them up you also can get a die nut to clean up the external threads on your barrel they should be easily turned and not take much metal off use a good cutting type of oil to lubricate the threads when doing this . I ground the end of my tap so that the threads on it will cut to the bottom of the hole even though it has a relief cut into it to allow it to be screwed all the way on as should the threads on your barrel . I put the tap in my vice and use a brass rod in the holes to screw the brake onto it . I put it in my lathe and turn it down on a tapper to the out side dimension of my barrel [/QUOTE]
