Nice work Karl ! I'd bet you've been doing this a long time ? Question! Are you cutting the threads with the lathe or a die holder used in the tail stock? Gosh you do good work.

A few nice prewar BSA
- Thread starter KWK
- Start date
I never use dies. Or very rarely. Only takes a few minutes to single point and get the class fit I want. Additionally there are no taps or dies for Prewar BSA proprietary threads. Chasing threads takes some practice to be able to run at a speed that keeps it entertaining and doesn't take so long to complete. Confidence in your ability is important. Practice on some scrap to develop the skills.You have to get into a rhythm. If you (anybody) need help by all means PM me.
Thank you. Yeah I've been playing with machines about 45 years. See one of my lathes I rebuilt on Airgun Warriors Metal Shop. I have to finish the series of posts but been really busy lately. You can see some other posts I did there too . Hopefully some useful information in there somewhere.

Wow is that a beautiful collection! I have two of them, and I feel quite fortunate. I love the lines on those rifles. However, I will admit it took some time for me to really grow to love the look.

I did some lathe practice in cutting threads but emphasis on the word " practice". Never really needed to actually need it as most of my work was with common threads. Common metric as well.

These old BSAs remind me of my old "BSF" .177 W. Germany Springer.
Can anyone illuminate the "BSF" made in the 1960s as a break barrel springer shooting .177 pellets?
Kindly,
