You could make some dies out of aluminum with a 3/8-10 tap. Just like the 5/16-18 ferrule dies..
I was asking on behalf of local fellow cuemaker. I don't know his intentions, guess he wants to make some pins?
dies
I pm.ed you a sorce for pins.
Atlas, prathers , or cue componets for the taps, I have not ever seen 3/8x 10 die.
I wasnt trying to put you on the spot about what your friend needs a 3/8 x 10 die for.

If I was going to make 3/8-10 pins, I would not use a die. I would use live tooling to cut the threads.

Can't do that with steel. My source cnc's them with 60* insert tool bit.
Really, 3/8 10 are so cheap, it's not worth making them.

ps
I hate 3/8 10 as they come in so many varieties ( different minors ).
There are some bastard 3/8 11 floating around too.
I urge everyone to stop using 3/8 11 unless it has 5/16 minor.
Ditch the .308 minor to make life easier for repair people.
You are right... I talked with the man at ctcueparts and he uses a rolling die to make all his pins. I buy his brass pins and have him center drill them, I turn the first 1/4 in of the threads off to look similar to a SW pin and buff them. They look like the $10 pin for $3.
