Simple question, can you help me out?

[bdGreen]

If I wanted to chase the threads on a barrel prior to installation, what die size would I need for a J, K, and N frame barrel?

Thanx,
bdGreen

They are special dies available from Brownells. Each frame size is a different diameter but all are 32 (I believe) threads per inch. The sizes are listed in Kuhnhausen's Shop Manual for S&W Revolvers.

Ask and get the right answer from the right "person".

Oops! 36 TPI instead of 32. At least the part about checking the listing in The Shop Manual was correct as was the fact that Brownells has them.
