Re: Threading a barrel?
What he said and a good turning (Lathe) tools for turning the thread diameter,undercutting the thread relief (minor diameter) at the shoulder and cutting a new crown on your barrel. It's not a hard job IF you have a minimum of tools and the knowledge to use them.
A lathe with back gears is a plus to work and a moderate speed.

I saw a rifle once that had a muzzle break installed by the hack using a three jaw chuck and die nut. That was a work of art to say the least
Here are a few things that might come in hady;
1. Four Jaw Chuck
2. Outboard Spider
3. Caliber specific Range Rod
4. Proper Fitting Bushing for the Range Rod / Bore
5. Good quality Indicator, .0001" Indicator preferably
6. Sharp, indexible, single point style tooling
7. Class 3A or 2A certified ring guage
8. The knowledge to use the above tools
