I need to borrow a bolt shroud thread tap for a Mauser. I want to borrow one; not buy or rent one. Please. It's for one bolt that the threads seem tightish. Yes I have tried ten other bolt shrouds in it.

I wish I had one to loan. If no luck, some valve lapping compound may get things loosened up.

I've lapped them before; I want the tap.

Pitted? Damaged/nicked thread or two? Just curious.

Bolt threads not happy.

For chasing existing threads?? Make one.

Brownells used to sell them ? But they seemed undersized..so...therefore not of much use. I got a couple from L&N Enterprises 812 849 2192, shown as 528 x 13 HSG 4FL Buttress Bottom Tap. Works!

I'll check them out, and yes, I have a piece of drill rod that I can make one out of.
But as I said, I don't want to buy one for one bolt. I want someone to loan me one for one minute.

Have your address SOMEWHERE....BUT TO SAVE TIME,. PM ME THE INFO AND i'LL SEND ONE ALONG

Awesome; You are a Gentleman and a Scholar. Also a craftsman.

I've got one of the brownells ones you are welcome to borrow, if Duane prefers, but honestly would tell you to avoid them, they are not correct.

Will have to give L&N Enterprises a call and see what their specs are.
