Glad I found this page. I'm a bit of an amateur Smith. I've been working on my own guns and some close friends guns for a few years now. Recently I was terminated from my normal job (Welder) and am helping a friend do some general repair stuff at his local gun store. I come across a lot of boogered holes and want to get a decent starter set of taps and dies built. I've came up with a list of what I think will be the most popular thread sizes found in firearms. Would greatly appreciate some more expericend guys and gals input on it.
3‐56, 5-44, 6-40, 6-48, 8-40, 10-32, 1/2-28, 5/8-24, 9/16- cant remember the TPI at the moment.
