Can I Thread A Muzzle By Hand?
BY Herschel SmithI would assume that the correct answer to this question is, “You can thread pipes by hand (I’ve done that). You shouldn’t do that with barrels.”

I was a machinist in a flange mill a long time ago. Our lathes and mills were huge old things made
for very large machining operations but I understand something of fine detail operations and
I think that barrel threading calls for a lathe with the proper tools and a decently trained operator.
Hand cut mine, maybe lucky? I had -no- problem with doing mine, but used a laser lever and micrometer to get the thread cut jes’ right… mounted the muzzle brake, no issue. shoots perfectly.
