AR Upper Die?
« on: February 26, 2015, 06:52:08 PM »
I'm going to put this here in GFD because there's really no better place for it ....  I'm looking to borrow a 1.25" X 18 TPI die for the barrel nut threads on an AR upper.  Anyone have one in Omaha or nearby?  I might have a little goodie or two to reward any helpful NFOA members. ;)

I have an upper that I purchased complete.  I removed the barrel nut and found that the threads needed some chasing/cleaning.

Thanks.

 I don't have a die, but I do have a thread file, you can usually work out damage with that

Never done that before.  Not sure I'm confident in my ability to avoid mucking things up further.

Sorry to hear that you were in the hospital.  No rush on my part.

Anything we can do for you while you're on the mend?
