[QUOTE="orwapitihunter, post: 617000, member: 1939"] I do quite a bit of threading of muzzles for suppressors and muzzle brakes. I run the barrel through the headstock like you do, but then I use a long tipped indicator to dial in just at the muzzle. I dial in the deepest point I can reach with the indicator and a point just inside the muzzle. When both of these are running <.0002" I start cutting. Prior to that I will dial both to about a half thou. and then run the lathe and warm the bearings before the final indicating. When cutting I stop a bit short of my major diam. and recheck that the bore is still running true. Then finish to major and thread. [/QUOTE]
