Remington Hepburn barrel shank

[JCP]

Does anyone know if all Remington Hepburns were threaded 1.062" diameter with a 16TPI?

Well, after a little more research and more possible disinformation, I doubt any had this thread.
Seems that it had square threads probably like or similar to the Rolling Block rifle.
Or maybe not

They’re called acme threads…..

De Haas shows Hepburn barrels as thread length 1.00 , 12 square threads per inch , diameter of threads .975. Hope this helps.

Acme threads are a different from square threads.

Contact Dan at DZ Arms, he makes replicas, I'm sure he'll know.

FWIW - a shooting friend gave me an original E. Remington & Sons roll stamped barrel he had taken off of a Hepburn. Someone had previously bored it out to .50-90. It screwed right into a Rolling Block receiver like it was meant for it - the top of the barrel was actually straight up. The shank, of course, was way too short, but it was interesting. The threads were square.

A Hepburn barrel will thread onto a Rolling Block #1 action, but it's not quite the same. They are both the same 12 sq. TPI, but a #1 is an OD of 1.0" where a Hepburn is .975" so it threads easily because it's slightly undersized, and shouldn't be used on a #1 receiver.

Thanks for the information. I have to thread a barrel for one before long. I don't mind the square threads.
