            I actually though about making one from scratch totally both modular and NY compliant.
            It sould be more like a suomi but with a modern trigger housing, rails on top and a nice hand guard. the suomi trigger and firing group sucks.

                American standard micrometer threads are 40 TPI (threads per inch). If you are chasing (cutting) the threads yourself any number of threads can go on any diameter. Of course you will have to chase internal threads to make a nut that fits.

                  Or 1/4-80

                    camper, the link you provided lists "thread matched adjustment screws" at 80 or 100 TPI. Sorry Bud but they aren't American std. micrometer thds., they're adjustment screws. But you knew that.

                    At the bottom left corner of the page are micrometer heads. The threads they list are .5mm pitch or 50.8 TPI. The pitch listed is METRIC. Again, not American standard micrometer threads.

                      They are micrometer adjustment screws, exactly what I was talking about.

                        Ok, you're right. Call them what you will. The only thing is that there is nothing micrometer about them as per the manufacturers description.

                        Merry Christmas!

                          IMO get one of those thread gauges. they are inexpensive and worth every penny.
                          with very fine threads things get tricky very fast. I can only do them relatively decent with the finest carbide tips available.
