I know that it's an old thread but I'll throw my 2 cents in. There isn't any need to gauge the threads on a new barrel. If the pitch is correct then use your frame as a gauge and just test fit the...

Mine goes down to 70 RPM. I guess that's not too bad but when I'm turning threads to a shoulder, it sure feels like it's turning faster than that! It was made in China and is similar to a lot of...
