| I have a barrel with said 5/8 x 24 threads and ordered a comp with the same. Goes on about 3/4 turn and comes to a complete stop. Some pressure with a wrench only does nothing. Thoughts? |

You need a thread pitch gauge and mic or verniers. Pitch gauge is self explanatory and measure the OD of the barrel, it should hover around .6250. I don't remember the minor diameter off the top of my head. Figure out what is out of whack and we can figure out a fix.
Do you have an item that is known to have good 5/8 x 24 tpi to check against? |

Quoted:
You should be able to tell in the comp just by feel. If it is the right pitch the guage will just drop in. If its say a 5/8-18 it won't feel right at all. Do you have the proper tap in your set? You could try chasing the threads in the comp. Exactly what I planned on doing when I found this problem. I dont have either, went to 2 local places,they didnt have either, so right now I have nothing to go with. As far as 5/8 x 18, no, from what I can read with the tool I have, its close.I'm a Bit scared to Ape it on. |
