[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1702038, member: 91783"] One of the reasons you have specs on how thin the wall thickness should be for threading is so that you don't have the threads cut through or cause metal to be pushed into the bore . I have seen where people ended up with what looked like a heli-coil thread repair coils after cutting threads you need enough meat left that isn't weakened to withstand the pressures that it will experience and not cause the bore to be restricted . I'm an old millwright not a gun smith or gun builder and have seen some things that will make you scratch your head or jaw drop in my life . I have just smiled shook my head and walked away on more then one occasion when people were doing something that they would learn by but not get hurt or hurt someone else . Just me . [/QUOTE]
