If the barrel is already tapped 3/8-24, then that's what you gotta use.

If this is re-using existing threads: Please check the threads with a bolt/screw of known size, to make sure the threads aren't stressed out of shape, stripped, and loss of threads.

...and if you use a stainless steel bolt, you can use that to make the new liner.

Thread tolerances of a bolt are usually such that a sloppy fit results when threading in a tapped hole.  Not the best situation.

this is a new build and came to me tapped at 3/8 x 24 with a home made vent liner. i was getting very poor ignition(three out of four shots would be a flash in the pan) until i replaced the liner with one those with the screwdriver slots,which greatly improved ignition but i would like to replace it with a White Lightning type liner.
