Hi all,
While not at all new to guns and doing minor repairs, I am new to doing machine work in general and with guns in particular. I am currently planning out a benchrest project which involves mating a Turkish Mauser action with a Norwegian manufactured Mauser barrel chambered for .308. This is easy enough to do, though I need advise on the best way to reduce the thread diameter on the barrel - it will fit any standard Large Ring action (1.10 shank thread diamameter, 12TPI) - to fit the Turkish Mauser action, which is considered a Large Ring action, though threaded to Small Ring specs (.980 shank thread diameter, 12TPI).
So...what is the best way to reduce the shank thread diameter from 1.10 to .980 while retaining pitch and thread shape (60 degree V)?
Any suggests are greatly appreciated!
