My Wm. Moore 2 groove circa pre-1845 is also 1/4" 28 tpi and does not look re-cut. I have had a bunch of other British ML's through that also have 1/4" 28 nipples. I never have run across BSF threads in any that have come through my shop. I am not saying you are wrong, just relating my experience.


Firearms imports, consignments
