Question on Grip Screws

Hi Rich -

I wonder if a person could make a cast of that thread using the bore casting material that is called "Ceros" or something like that? (I know you know what I mean.)

It's available from Brownells and melts at a low temperture so that you can take the interior dimensions of a chamber or barrel. When you do a barrel or chamber, you just plug the barrel or chamber with a rag and melt the stuff and pour it in. Then after it cools you just tap it out with a wooden dowel rod.

I'm wondering if you might be able to use that stuff to make a cast of the grip screw threads? However, instead of tapping it out, you would have to probably make some kind of mold or form so that you would have something to grasp and then unscrew it from the threads, etc.

Just a thought.
