Help, I need a 3/4-16 tap bolt, or a piece of 3/4 -16 threaded rod at least 2" long for a breech plug. It's for the Barrel Runar and rifled a couple of weeks a ago. Can't find this in Norway.

Best regards
Rolf

Sorry, all the ones I have are NC 10 threads/inch.  I would gladly procure the correct ones for you if you want to cover costs.  PM me if so.

Checked the website. They estimate shipping one 4" bolt to Norway to cost  $32,00 which is nuts( shipped international priority). I have orderd a bolt and asked them to mail it USPS first class international mail which should cost about $13.50 .  Keeping fingers crossed. Migth end up paying $40 for a 3$ bolt.

Rolf, for the cost of shipping might as well buy 2 bolts? Then you have a spare.

Rolf, I could send 2 bolts, grade 5, for about $15.00 by USPS first class mail. It might take a couple weeks to get there. Pm me if you want me to send them.
As in life; it’s the journey, not the destination. How you get there matters most.

Problem solved. A ALR member will send me the bolts. I am very thankful for all the help thats been kindly given by ALR members over the years.
Below is copy of the answer I got from Mc Master-Carr. Trying to buy from the USA can be quite trying at times. Getting the simplest items can be a head ache.

We cancelled the order you placed on our website.  Thank you for considering McMaster-Carr for your purchase, but due to the cost of complying with extensive US export regulations, McMaster-Carr accepts international purchases only from our established international customers.
We did not bill your credit card.
