| The Receiver thread on a Weatherby Vanguard is 26x1.5mm metric. A large ring Mauser thread is 1.1x12tpi. Not even close. Regards Jerry |

| Thanks. I'll just get a 'smith to cut the threads and barrel it. If it were standard Mauser threads I could do it. I have done a couple of Mausers and it's pretty easy. I appreciate the info. |

| Vanguards have metric threads. The same as the Jap Arisaka! Bastard metric threads at that !  I cut them quite frequently. Just have to remember not to disengage the half nut until you're finished cutting the threads to full depth!!! |

| On my lathe cutting metric threads is no problem, that is as long as you remember to change the gears!!! Also it is best to change them back when done or else the next Mauser threads you cut will come out, well, shall we say sort of different!!!!
It is not what you hunt with, it is how you hunt that matters!

| Maybe I'll just scratch the whole idea and get a CZ 550 in 416 Rigby. Same performance and would come out cheaper by my calculations. Besides, if I use my Vanguard I'll just have to buy another 300 WBY to replace it. I'm bored and need a project. |
