I'm late to the party, as usual...IIRC, the 1/4-22, 55-degree Whitworth was used by the Mauser Bros because their original machinery came from Britain.
Good luck!

Yeah, I think most of the world's machinery came from Britain in that era! Just about all the european rifles were built in mainly Imperial English measurements.
I'm going to try to carve out some time this weekend to work on this, but might not be able to... so it will probably be another week before I do anything substantial. I know you are just waiting with bated breath to know about my minuscule project.

Yeah, the B-Square ones? I've seen the discontinued ones, and would have purchased them, but this is more fun anyway. It's not the destination, it's the journey. Or some smarmy excuse like that for never getting anything done! I'm a hobbyist, after all.
