Howdy, Wes.. I haven't seen much of your presence lately.. and my news
reader missed this reply, but I saw it in the Goog threads.

I definitely wouldn't want to be making similar threading mistakes on
valuable parts, that's for sure.
Luckily, my error was a cheap lesson.. well, this time anyway.

Yep, JTS has a lot of inventory.. I discovered them when they began listing
a limited amount of tooling on eBag years ago, and they've been a fairly
popular supplier.
Their taps and reamer inventory covers sizes that many other suppliers don't
stock.

I feel your pain. I have a 5/16-36 tap here for the Hornady lock and load
tool for determining the OAL for seating a given bullets against the lands
or more often a bit behind.

Then there is the tap I *thought* would be the right size to make a holder
for my other rear aperatures for my AR. Wrong tap. Need to figure out
correct one.

At least I was 50% on my recent special tap buy, beats zero.
Williams rear aperature sights use a 7/32-40 thread just to add content.
http://www.jtsmach.com is a good place for decently priced special taps.
