Does anyone know where I can purchase tap sets? I have the Brownells number 2 set I need the number 1 set or similar. Must include 3, 4 & 5. Straight, taper & plug.
 
What diameter and pitch, and english or metric? McMaster Carr is one vendor. Advise NOT buying Chinese or other far east made.

That is the voice of experience....
 
Try Midway, I have picked up a few from them, or Brownells online catalog.

I wonder why Brownells no longer have the #1 set available?
 
Three piece sets in common gunsmith size & pitch.

The taps only need USA shipping.
 
I'd be cautious about "Ozziestraightshooter". Just a new name for Industek who were the importers of Baikal and assorted Russian products.

Noticed their die and tap set for Martini-Enfield barrels lists a thread angle of 55 degrees whereas the Enfield barrel thread form was between 49 degrees 40 minutes and 50 degrees. You can force 55 degree Whitworth form, but not ideal.
