Unusual size, I can’t find a record of it. Do you know what it is designated as, unf, unc etc ?
That was odd :wtfsmilie:Quote:

If you think that's odd, see what the enfields have.
They are all over the place and almost completely proprietary. Small shanks with uneven number of tpi per inch
So tracking one of these down is like rocking horse shit. Last resort is buy a set from site above. Had a thought got a contact at motat so trying there...
Brownells have them but their shipping cost would likely be excrutiating.. The good ole days are gone sadly.

Buy half a dozen of them out of China, and shipping will be freeQuote:
