Lighthouse Quality ToolsM14X1 LH HSS Adjustable Round Threading Die

Local gunsmith was asking $75 to thread my barrel with a 6 months lead time. I decided to DIY it with this and the alignment tool. First barrel I've ever threaded and it worked great. Watched a few 'Tube vids and took my time. Probably won't ever use this again but it's okay. I came out ahead.

So this worked perfectly. The only issue is that I could not get the threading all the way down like I wanted. Functioned perfectly just didn’t have the clearance I wanted.

I don’t know how long this will last, as I only used it once. It worked ok for a muzzle threading project.

This worked awesome, would buy again if I needed to. But since it's still good to go, can use it on the next threading. Worth buying, don't waste your time or money on the merlin crap.

I managed to thread an AK barrel without the slightest problem. The threads cut smoothly into the metal - how smooth? Smooth like a baby's ass.
