Think about that...both threads are helixI don’t see how you can get 360dg contact with shoulder since the threads are helix. Is 360 expected??
Any advice for getting transfer 360 or is it not necessary.Think about that...both threads are helix
Yes, it is necessary. If by hand, very slowly, very methodically, and VERY, VERY little removed at a time.Any advice for getting transfer 360 or is it not necessary.
Is it a matter of filing the high (touching) points of the plug face perimeter.Yes, it is necessary. If by hand, very slowly, very methodically, and VERY, VERY little removed at a time.
Plug and face should contact at the same time.
Sort of, you have to make sure that the barrel face is square. If the barrel face isn't square you will never get full contact. It is a back and forth until everything touchesIs it a matter of filing the high (touching) points of the plug face perimeter.
Gives you the opportunity to practice on each flat until the one with the sights on it comes up to 12 o’clock.Not when the sights have already been drilled and tapped….
We learn from our mistakes…
Until you run short of threads on the plug..Gives you the opportunity to practice on each flat until the one with the sights on it comes up to 12 o’clock.
More than one way to skin a cat as they say. Realistically, let’s say the plug has a TPI of 16, a full revolution is only .062”. If you had ‘just over 1/2” ‘, another turn would have made no functional difference. But nothing wrong with washer if it works.Until you run short of threads on the plug..
I was down too 5… just over 1/2”.
Question; Is there any "shoulder" near the tang that is hitting and thus not allowing the breach plug to screw 100% of the way in?I'm setting up the breech plug on a round barrel. It was screwed in tight so I backed it out to apply inletting color ...screwed it back in and it appeared there was no transfer. So I proceeded to remove a little of the tang that butts agains the barrel rear. Screwed it back in and it stopped...but now with a small gap where I removed some of the tang. Backed it out again and ...again...no transfer??? I would think it should act like a giant screw...once any impedence is removed it should screw all the way down upon the shoulder.
I then screwed the plug back in and ran a straight rod down the barrel till it bottomed on the plug face...then clamped into place. Removed the plug and the end of the rod is very slightly ahead of the shoulder...indicating the plug is going all the way in.
Why am I not getting any inletting transfer?? it looks like there is some inletting transfer on one of the last threads...but I thought it needs to transfer to the larger flat area at the bottom. the plug does have a slight bevel if that matters.View attachment 253536View attachment 253537View attachment 253536
The tang portion. It’s cosmetic.Air tight it may be ?? Is it Explosion tight.Time will tell.O.D.
