Hello fellow aficionados!
My gunsmith desperately needs and cannot find a rethreading die for gas chamber. When he removed the gas chamber plug (at my request) for cleaning/checking, the threads on the plug stripped due to the gas chamber being pressed in on three sides during (apparently) original assembly. The chamber is basically out of round and the plug (or a new one) cannot be rethreaded.
We'll buy/rent/borrow, but not steal, the right tool. We're just too conservative (not pc correct, but too bad!) to toss my beautiful barrel and buy another just to get around this minor but serious problem.
Your help will be sincerely appreciated!
Chris
