    That was odd
    I had 2 1/4" Whitworth taps and they were both 20TPI. I've never seen so many oddball threads as I have on guns & optics.

    If you think that's odd, see what the enfields have.
    They are all over the place and almost completely proprietary. Small shanks with uneven number of tpi per inch

    Brownells have them but their shipping cost would likely be excrutiating.. The good ole days are gone sadly.

    Saw a 'gain thread' on a chinese rifle once. Soft bolt and receiver (nut), and it stretched at both ends!
