Yet you kept a thousands of tolerance. Very impressive! God Bless you my brother in Christ!

Great video Red. I’m by no means a machinist and you are way over my head,but I love watching you do your thing. You got some skills man. God bless and a very Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Suggested this for Yawt Yawts .22's over time even a .22 will affect your hearing

Hello. Mr. Red you are much better at welding than hog dragging. Glad to see your work.

[@RedRheaWeldingmachining]

I try

[@TheGregstorm]

His threads look a little rough and I like the commenter's suggestion to chase the last bit manually with a die. You'd still need to prep the area with the lathe.

You are a lot smarter than I thought when you are doing the hogs with the mouth of Mississippi you don’t talk much but it shows that you are a good man helping them that don’t have your ability to think right but God Bless Y’all and have a blessed Christmas and I no it’s a hard job but try to keep old David out of trouble 😢😢😢😢😢😢😅😂

The laws in the USA on silencers is just silly... most other countries have no restrictions on them at all, although they are prohibited in Australia I believe, but certainly not here in NZ. We aren't allowed an AR15. but moderators are no problem. I often single point thread to about 2 or 3 thou large and finish with a die... gives a lovely finish. Good to watch someone else do it... I am a little paranoid about the thread dial indicator numbers too, and I wait for the same one every time... 🙂

[@JohnWheels]

Very cool video! Merry (Early) Christmas!

[@Susietacoma]

Great testimony. ✝️

[@RichFife]

I was surprised to see that you didn't dress the threads prior to every fitment. Rubberized abrasive rounds are great to remove small burs that could make the threads bind or feel tight without changing the thread profile. Once the sharp threads cut into the Rubberized brasive, and you make a few hand passes, it sure makes the threads smooth. What class of thread are these supposed to be, 2a or 3a? I'm assuming 3a, but I honestly don't know.

[@RedRheaWeldingmachining]

Yes, I try to make them as close to a 3 as I can. Ive gotta have me some of those. Like I said, I do it the way I learned 45 years ago. Thanks for the tip.

[@johnnyholland8765]

You always need the intended "attachment" whatever it happens to be when you cut the threads so you can fit them. Although most all threads are cut to a standard specification you never know if a manufacturer was using say a dull threading tap or slightly oversized the hole. These conditions can be catered to by manipulating the thread some. Maybe a few thousandths over or under said spec to obtain the correct fit. I do a lot of small threads and I mean small. Most attachments I have done are 1/2 x 28 so I use a fresh edge (rotate the insert) when doing them. Makes for a cleaner cut. I have found 4140 barrels are a little gummy and 1137 which is what a lot of 22 barrels are made from is even worse. I have one lathe I do all mt threading on. It is a South Bend and is very rigid and tight. You need both to cut clean small threads. I also always recut the crown so if I damaged the lands in the end of the barrel by using the live center it will correct it. I like your V blocks. They can be used over and over. Great idea...

[@RedRheaWeldingmachining]

Thank you. Do you just rechuck the barrel? It really doesnt have to be dead nuts to crown does it?

[@Sean-q5z]

I used to help clean roaters off kinda like that

[@scotth5261]

WTF is a roater?

[@Sean-q5z]

@scotth5261 it's the emergency break discs, when they get uneven or start making nose when you use them you can, in stead of getting new ones, get them 'terned', you cut thin layers off them until they are smooth and almost mirror clean, ii, probably misspelled the word.

[@G1951-w1y]

When you take it on and off the centers to check fit, how do you know you are mounting it back on rotationally correct? Is the dog the point of reference?

[@BabyFace786yeg]

You should get a camera with manual focus if yours doesn't or you are using a phone. The auto focus never know what you are looking at no matter how good it is

[@WilliamVance-y5r]

Red I’m from out of town but normally what do you charge for that service? Is it more when you have to cut more off of the barrel?
