ThaineDaniel Fraser Barrel Thread Dimensions
Not the real ones, but the small frame jobs sold through Cape Outfitters a decade or so back. Does anyone know the thread dimensions? I am looking to use one of the barrels if it has enough meat to rethread. They are octagon to round. A google got me nothing and a search here came up empty as well.
Thanks

I built several of these a few years ago and I sill have one. I will try to find the specs later and let you know. They were all 16 twist and were not of high quality rifling.

I could not find my paperwork on these builds. I did measure the rifle that I have and the barrel shank at the back of the action is .560.
Hope this helps.

James,
Thank you for the effort. Based on the twist and comment about quality, I think I will skip this idea. The 1/2 octagon to round had a certain appeal, but not at the cost of accuracy.
