Can I Thread A Muzzle By Hand?

I would assume that the correct answer to this question is, “You can thread pipes by hand (I’ve done that). You shouldn’t do that with barrels.”

I was a machinist in a flange mill a long time ago. Our lathes and mills were huge old things made
for very large machining operations but I understand something of fine detail operations and
I think that barrel threading calls for a lathe with the proper tools and a decently trained operator.

Hand cut mine, maybe lucky? I had -no- problem with doing mine, but used a laser lever and micrometer to get the thread cut jes’ right… mounted the muzzle brake, no issue. shoots perfectly.
