Rio Brazos Kid Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Where can I find a big brass bead for my old 97? Midway USA has a .175 diameter Brass Bead made by Williams, that is superb. They are made with either a 3-56 TPI shank, Product #711-936, or a 6-48 TPI shank, Product #917-464 Cost is approx. $4.50 I believe the 97 uses the 3-56 thread, but I'm not positive.

Ventura Slim, SASS #35690 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 You will want a tap to go with the bead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckshot Frank Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Get the kit that comes with the tap and the drill bit. 6-48 uses an in-between sized drill bit. I only bought the tap figuring that I already have the correct drill bit, but I was wrong. I ended up having to use a drill bit that was slightly too large and did not get full threads all the way around once tapped. It still worked, but I ordered the correct drill bit for future projects.
