You are indeed a craftsman !!! People seem to be in such a hurry nowadays and then want to blame their screw-ups on others...how fitting that paying attention to detail, patience to keep doing repeated passes, and taking pains so the quality shows !!! PS...I knew who you were doing this for because David said he could no longer blame his shooting skills on the rifle !!! He cracks me up as do you when I watch you both dragging hogs and having fun doing it !!! Keep up the good work with a smile on your face and a song in your heart !!! God Bless.
Hi Red, may God Bless you every second of each day. I loved your testimony, it was wonderful, to the point and precisely right and very well said, wow I was very wonderfully impressed. Now don't go getting a big head, but for the LORD's sake never stop witnessing for our Precise LORD Jesus. May your videos be a blessing to every one and stay well all winter. We hope your Christmas was great Sir. And thanks for helping David with his videos and his efforts to limit the hog explosion. He is such a blessing to us, also. Please keep up the good work. I enjoyed watching you put threads on the 22 barrel. I did not understand how you can always start at the same thread to cut threads for each pass, but you know.
Great video Red. I’m by no means a machinist and you are way over my head,but I love watching you do your thing. You got some skills man. God bless and a very Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Hey thanks for the video. I’ve setup barrels all different ways in my lathe to thread. This is by far the fastest and simplest. My favorite (when it works out) is to use my collet chuck and a live center in the tail stock. Collet grips the chamber end. Anywho, well done sir. Hope you have a merry Christmas.
Thank you. I hope you have a merry Christmas. I have a collet chuck that you can adjust. I have a buddy that says I'm a fool for not using it. Gonna have to give it a try.
You are a lot smarter than I thought when you are doing the hogs with the mouth of Mississippi you don’t talk much but it shows that you are a good man helping them that don’t have your ability to think right but God Bless Y’all and have a blessed Christmas and I no it’s a hard job but try to keep old David out of trouble 😢😢😢😢😢😢😅😂
Roll tide from sweet hm Al. great video you and yawt yawt have merry Christmas and by the a thread file woud come in handy jus a thought and happy new year 2
Mr. Red while hearing your testimony my hands went to the air then finger hit the subscribe. Thank you for your testimony and video. I know that The Lord has blessed you with the Truth.
Theirs a line drawn to do something and to do it correctly.... I hope your receptive to feedback because this is not how to thread a 22 or any barrel if the end result is to hang a device off of it. Not to mention your live center just destroyed the crown. Also was jumping up and down as you threading giving all hope of the threads cut straight out the door. Love the ending and glad to see more of Jesus and the word being spread. Amen brother
I'm not a gunsmith but I did train as precision machinist. I don't know how you would do it but personally I would have a shouldered aluminium plug I could centre drill as I know hardened centre in not good on any precision bore.
Great job and rest assured you did damage the lands and grooves behind the crown. I saw how you set the live center with light pressure you are good to go Red. 26:48
His threads look a little rough and I like the commenter's suggestion to chase the last bit manually with a die. You'd still need to prep the area with the lathe.
The problem I see with that is you will get a #2 fit and I am trying to get a #3 fit. That barrel seemed a little soft. Did not cut well when turning down. Thank you for watching. I hope other than the rough threads you enjoied it.
The laws in the USA on silencers is just silly... most other countries have no restrictions on them at all, although they are prohibited in Australia I believe, but certainly not here in NZ. We aren't allowed an AR15. but moderators are no problem. I often single point thread to about 2 or 3 thou large and finish with a die... gives a lovely finish. Good to watch someone else do it... I am a little paranoid about the thread dial indicator numbers too, and I wait for the same one every time... 🙂
I was surprised to see that you didn't dress the threads prior to every fitment. Rubberized abrasive rounds are great to remove small burs that could make the threads bind or feel tight without changing the thread profile. Once the sharp threads cut into the Rubberized brasive, and you make a few hand passes, it sure makes the threads smooth. What class of thread are these supposed to be, 2a or 3a? I'm assuming 3a, but I honestly don't know.
Yes, I try to make them as close to a 3 as I can. Ive gotta have me some of those. Like I said, I do it the way I learned 45 years ago. Thanks for the tip.
How do you even know what class of thread you have cut? I never seen you measure with anything other than with a pair of Chinese calipers in the beginning. Do you own a good set of thread wires and a good micrometer and if you do, do you use them?
@reloadNshoot I'm not trying to knock.the guy... just questioning the process. I know a lot of old school machinists that manually thread on the daily and they are spot on with their threading. The thread profile for 3a class threads is relatively important for proper thread engagement... with that said, I'd be willing to bet that these threads are closer to a 2a fitment. If you listen to the part as it's being threaded on, you can hear a little slop between the two threads. Regardless, to each their own... I'm a manual lathe guy that runs a HAAS VF2 mill... sooo I have no dog in the fight. I just enjoy watching videos and listening to this gentleman's "twang"/"drawl". Lol
I own micrometers from Starret to Mitutoyo. I also own wires and know how to use them. I do not however know what the fit of the part they are putting on was cut to so I use a like source and fit as close to it as I can. I am not perfect and dont claim to be. Thank you for watching.
Red are you using the Compound for your threads? Merry Christmas to you and your family. I just found your channel a week ago. We have a lot of common interest.
You said thread depth was approx 0.031" but later said 0.060"? Was it because DRO was showing overall reduction? Personally, I've always worked in actual depth of cut, never ever liked 'direct reading' . BTW, when your threading between centres, you should really use a drive dog that fits either side of chuck jaw with a bolt to tighten against jaw. There is way too much chance that position can move (or the bolt your using could bend) and really mess up the thread. I'm also 67, trained in mid 70's
Amen Red Jesus is the reason for the Season and just a little act of kindness goes along way. Good work also there Red and Iike I always tell Yawt Yawt God bless ya as always Brother 🙏
You always need the intended "attachment" whatever it happens to be when you cut the threads so you can fit them. Although most all threads are cut to a standard specification you never know if a manufacturer was using say a dull threading tap or slightly oversized the hole. These conditions can be catered to by manipulating the thread some. Maybe a few thousandths over or under said spec to obtain the correct fit. I do a lot of small threads and I mean small. Most attachments I have done are 1/2 x 28 so I use a fresh edge (rotate the insert) when doing them. Makes for a cleaner cut. I have found 4140 barrels are a little gummy and 1137 which is what a lot of 22 barrels are made from is even worse. I have one lathe I do all mt threading on. It is a South Bend and is very rigid and tight. You need both to cut clean small threads. I also always recut the crown so if I damaged the lands in the end of the barrel by using the live center it will correct it. I like your V blocks. They can be used over and over. Great idea...
@@RedRheaWeldingmachiningSome folks who live and breathe “dead nuts” think the crown is very critical. As the bullet leaves the barrel, they want the pressurized gases behind it to exit the same all around the tail of that bullet. That said, installing a muzzle brake often changes the point of impact so, if you take it on and off, “dead nuts” might be out the window anyway. (I just looked up that statement and the answer is “yes”. Various folks say 1” to 6” at 100 yards. Some say that the weight also affects the “tuning” of the barrel vibration.)
When you take it on and off the centers to check fit, how do you know you are mounting it back on rotationally correct? Is the dog the point of reference?
@scotth5261 it's the emergency break discs, when they get uneven or start making nose when you use them you can, in stead of getting new ones, get them 'terned', you cut thin layers off them until they are smooth and almost mirror clean, ii, probably misspelled the word.
You should get a camera with manual focus if yours doesn't or you are using a phone. The auto focus never know what you are looking at no matter how good it is

Thanks Red. Came over here from yawt yawt. Thoroughly enjoy your postings
Suggested this for Yawt Yawts .22's
over time even a .22 will affect your hearing
Amazes me how fast that thing spins it cuts threads. Cool video. Getting more watching you than Yawt. 😂
Thanks 👍
Thanks for standing for Jesus, He is The Way, The Truth, and The Life
Red, your doing just fine.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hi from a yawt yawt fan
Hello. Mr. Red you are much better at welding than hog dragging. Got to see you work.
Red are you using the Compound for your threads? Merry Christmas to you and your family. I just found your channel a week ago. We have a lot of common interest.
Not on the real fine threads and using good inserts. I did on the glue head video. Welcome and thank you for watching.
You said thread depth was approx 0.031" but later said 0.060"?
Was it because DRO was showing overall reduction?
Personally, I've always worked in actual depth of cut, never ever liked 'direct reading' .

Thank you. Do you just rechuck the barrel? It really doesnt have to be dead nuts to crown does it?

I wish I could come be your apprentice. I could watch this for hours.
When you take it on and off the centers to check fit, how do you know you are mounting it back on rotationally correct? Is the dog the point of reference?
Yes. if you notice I have my jaw marked.
I used to help clean roaters off kinda like that
WTF is a roater?
@scotth5261 it's the emergency break discs, when they get uneven or start making nose when you use them you can, in stead of getting new ones, get them 'terned', you cut thin layers off them until they are smooth and almost mirror clean, ii, probably misspelled the word.
Red I’m from out of town but normally what do you charge for that service? Is it more when you have to cut more off of the barrel?
The gunsmiths I talked to gets 3 to $400.
I smell a Fed.
You should measure your thread before doing all of that checking.
The metal in your Chuck, what type is it? Alluimniun or still?
Aluminum
They do rings on something like that
Amen
