Anyone got a 1/4-25 Thread Tap?

John Sabato · 08-10-2005, 04:51 PM

That's right, not 1/4-20, 24, or 28... but 1/4-25.

That is the size tap for the guard screws for a 1903 springfield... I need to chase the threads in one guard screw hole where the screw had to be drilled out...

It is a real odd-ball tap size... Brownells has them for about $20! plus shipping... but I only need it for one gentle reaming of the threads in ONE hole...

If you will lend it to me, I promise to take good care of it and return it promptly... and replace it with a new one if I damage it...

Thanks.
