Whitworth Thread on a M24/47

[tighten tournique]

AA I completely agree about doing it right by using the proper whitworth thread. I am waiting on a set of whitworth thread gauges so that I can properly chase the threads and square the face of the receiver and trim the barrel for a good fit. I cannot find anyone to date in the Mauser community who is sure of the tpi. Most tell me "....aw 12tpi works fine..." I may find that the Yugo folks may have buggered the threads or even mismatched as USSR has never been known for quality control
