METRIC THREAD/TAP

[Colorado Coffinmaker]

OK.  When I retired, I put my little book of secrets in a safe place.  You guessed it.  Now I can't find its safe place.  

 

Anybody know the thread pitch/size for the Magazine End Cap on a Uberti Rifle??  Of course, then I have to find a correct Tap.

@KingSnake should have the answer

Bet it's not your regular metric thread.

You can find the tap on Amazon or at MSC.

I had a tap I needed a while back.It was a site screw for a 84 trapdoor with Buffington site.It was a 8-26.I found one for 150.00 but she gave me a better price.It was a shoulder screw so I needed to go back with the same.The only other people that use this thread size are Banjo makers.They have a hard time finding a tap.

Interesting but what does this have to do with the threads on a Uberti magazine tube or end cap plug?

         Some taps are hard to find & expensive                                                                                                                          Largo

KING SNAKE - Thanks a bunch.  Hate it when I put something away and then can't remember where I stashed it (grumble grumble)

 

YA BIG TREE - Same same as above.  Many many thanks.

 

Addendum:  This Thank You failed to post when I originally tried to post.  Just sat in the "Editor" until today.  Wish I knew why this site does that.  Very frustrating.

Isn't that a contradictory term?

It's either regular or metric.    Not "regular metric."

[Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933]

No because metric theads are like American threads.  There are some standard coarse and fine sizes like 10-24 and 10-32 in the U.S. and 4 - .7 and 4 - .5 in the rest of the world.  Then you have non-standard threads like Largo's 8-26 that were made for specific applications.

[H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619]

"Regular" threads are expressed in so many fractions of an inch.  12 inches equal 1 foot.
"Metric" threads are expressed in so many fraction of something called a "meter."   It's supposed to be a little longer than a yard.

I believe "the metric system" was made up by some French guy.
