Anyone able to loan me some AR-15 tools?

I need to borrow a 1/2x28 die for chasing my male barrel threads and perhaps a thread alignment tool. Will certainly pay for shipping on both ends and not keep them long. Thanks.

I have a set of the vise jaws if you need them. I will go dig around and see if I have the 1/2-28 die.

Thanks. I have the vice jaws tool. I borrowed it from a guy on AR15.com and he has totally disappeared and ignored my phone calls and emails to try to return his tools. I just need the die and thread alignment tool now.

1/2-28 is new one to me. Is that gun or special apps. related only?

1/4-28 fine thread is common

1/2-20 fine thread is common

If you have a few bad threads, sometimes lapping compound will work.

Edit: not too expensive on eBay...
