A number 7-32 thread is used on scope mount for an early rifle. I found I could make the screw by adjusting a 6-32 die head to larger dimension (.151"). In restoring an antique gun, it is not proper to change thread sizes. Many early guns had odd/special threads. Purchased screws are usually a close approximation and have to be forced. Another hard item to find is die punches with serifs. Need those too. Thanks

I would suggest to drill and tap for an 8-40 if at all possible. Not only stronger but you can buy the screws.

Are not some bore brushes 7-32 also? It is not possible to use a #8 in some small cleaning rods and still maintain strength.
