I am heading up a group buy on this tap over on the GTA, let me know it you have any interest, we are at 5 and would need 12 orders for the best pricing.
Quoted from the OP.
As part of this, I got ahold of a company that makes the specialty taps, Tapco, and got prices for single or volume purchases of this tap. So, if a person orders 1, it's $256!! Hardly worth it for a casual airgunner who occasionally rebuilds these guns. But if the order is for 12 taps, the price drops to $70 each, which is pretty reasonable is a person can put it to use, probably not for a 1 time ever rebuild. So, if 12 people want one and can get organized, it's $70 each, if 10, it's $89 each.
Anyway, I already have a tap, and have other things going on so don't want to be a point man. But I thought I'd mention it here in case there are enough people interested and one person willing to organize a group buy.
I have seen enough buggered up threads that I routinely use my tap to clean them up. Makes it easier to install the valve nut into clean threads too.
The company is Tapco, 800-827-7787, the tap no. is 37558 (description is .6656-32H2), ask for Jackie.
