Does anyone have a tap size for a Jinhao x750?
I am thinking a 7/16 x 36
Tap to m10 x .7 and give it a try. I think this might work.
You may need to make a tap, taps for plastics and soft material are easy enough to make if you have access to a metal lathe ( I usually just make them out of simple cold roll mild steel bar when they are intended for plastic, they don't need hardening).
I use either W1 or O1Tool steel (drill rod). See this link: http://www.penturners.org/forum/f166/making-your-own-specialty-taps-bock-5-mm-139755/
You can also use a bolt with the ends ground for soft material.
7/16 x 36 is equivalent to 11.1 x 7I am thinking a 7/16 x 36

I'll also attach magnified view of the threads in question, if someone wants to see there shape.
Roy your last post was very informative. I was curious, instead of rethreading, is it possible to harvest the barrel threads and just glue those into a new turned barrel? So a person could use the barrel threads made for the section, use the section, use the plastic bump ring from the interior of cap...and then make the cap and barrel yourself. Would it work?
Correction: could the metal barrel you turned down be used as a tube for a wood blank. I'm typing with my thumbs on a phone. My apologies.
