I'm not sure how many a ton of mounts is, but I've installed over 100 and I've had quite a few issues with tolerances. I believe all of them have involved cut down and rethreaded barrels (a few of these were Centurion Arms 11.5" barrels.. which were cut down from 12.5 by Monty).
Most of the time the device will thread on most of the way before require some torque to finish the journey, other times it will need a wrench to help move it on its way (after locking barrel into a vice) but this is the second one I've had that won't thread fully only the barrel even with some coercion (wrench).
I suppose I'll try a die first. I'd rather not buy all the tools as I haven't been spending as much time tinkering lately and I'm afraid it would sit there untouched after its maiden voyage.
