    Far quicker for me to ID bore and thread mill than tear a lathe down for LH threading.

    Checking thread fit and setting the timing for the plunger detent.

    Throw a level over the front sight to set the clock position for the indexing pin slot.

    Now that the OD contour and threading are done, we move on to the porting. This is right off the machine, still have to knock the razors off the port edges.

    Just curious…Could you make something like pictured below in M14X1 RH -> M24X1.5 RH? I have a vz58 and would like to use muzzle devices other than the wonky thread pitch they come with.

    We can do that easy enough. I'd have to buy some gauging though to qualify threads. That's where the real expense would be.
