1/2"-28 Threading Alignment Tool (TAT) Die Starter for .22 / .223 - Gunsmithing by NTC

worked great to thread my .22 rossi

I bought this to help me threat my Bereta M9A1 22r, but that bore is a few thousandths smaller in the inside diameter than every other 22lr I own.

Great product it worked as stated, with absolutely no issues! Easy to use, and good quality for the money. Overall I recommend and would absolutely purchase again!

It works. I had to very lightly sand the shaft to get it to go into the barrel, but that means that thare was absolutely no play as I was cutting the threads.Aluminum is a better choice than steel for this--steel would damage the rifling in the barrel if it fit with the proper tightness. If the fit is tight, the aluminum will deform before damaging the rifling.I had no problem with the shaft bending. If you're torquing the die sideways while cutting threads, you're doing it wrong. Even if the die starts out straight, your cut will wander off-center if you don't consistently apply equal pressure to both handles of the die holder.I don't know if this will help you cut threads accurate enough to mount a long suppressor without baffle strikes, but it's definitely good enough to thread a barrel for a flash hider or muzzle brake.If it had a collet-style adjustment to ensure a tight fit I'd give it 5 stars. But coming slightly oversized and sanding to exact fit works reasonably well, especially for the price.

Quality , fit right into my .22 cal rifle barrel with very little play ( a little play is needed ) and i made sure it threaded into one of my existing muzzle breaks and it did smoothly.

Does what is intended

Arrived quickly but as others had said the threads were tight and had the be run thru the die several times to recut and clean up the threads. As such the item is merely ok and usable after being worked on itself before intended use. Bought this to use on a breakdown 22lr and the guide worked perfectly after above. Bought thru Amazon for the free shipping with Prime. Next time I'll order thru my usual supplier and pay the $4 shipping.

Great for aligning die to clean up the muzzle threads.
