Overview

This fractional die is intended for gunsmithing tasks that call for precise external threading on firearm components. Its 13/16" outer diameter fits standard die stocks, making it a practical choice for shop work where compatibility matters. Built from carbon steel, it also offers the advantage of easier fragment removal if a die breaks during use. For users who need a 7/32-40 thread size in a compact fractional format, it serves as a straightforward threading tool rather than a general-purpose accessory.
