In a job lot of second hand dies there is one marked 3/16 x 30. I can’t find this thread in any of my charts. Can anyone help identify it?

A.I Says:

“A 3/16″ x 30 TPI thread is a rare British Whitworth-form screw specification famously used for grip retention screws on historical firearms like the German Luger pistol, featuring a 55-degree thread angle rather than the modern standard 60-degree profile.”

Interesting. Most of the others were BA and BSF, I wonder where it came from.

I have a set of taps and die 3/16 x 30 in the Model Engineer thread form as well as others of varying sizes. They produce a fine thread used in steam pipe fittings.
