    After some careful but slow thread cutting I finally was able to screw in the barrel with plenty of grease so it would not jam up on me as I wanted a tight thread. It now screws in nicely with a bit of presser and when tightened up there is a .050" gap with the breech block and barrel chamber face, as I left it short for final machining of barrel lip to receiver face and head spacing. Will have to cut away about 70% of the steel block to get it looking like a Sharps receiver , but must, must take it carefully so there`s no stuff ups, measure three times and cut once!, if I cut it off, carn`t put it back. Cheers,Homebrew.357.
