Chasing threads on a muzzle brake

[TurboAR]

I need to clean up and chase the threads on a muzzle brake. I know its a right hand 1/2-28 tap that I need, but the local hardware store don't stock that size. I saw this one on e-bay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/1-2-28-4-Flute-PD-4800-Hand-Plug-Tap-Qty-1-New-/160527883436?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2560351cac

Is this the right type of tap? If not, can somebody help me locate the right one on the internet.
Thanks

Looks fine. Just for future reference, ENCO is a pretty good outfit with a large selection of tooling at reasonable prices.

That one will work fine.

Unfortunately, Enco's site (use-enco.com) has been down for the last 4 days...

If your going to chase the threads I would get a bottoming tap.

The tap linked on ebay is a bottoming tap and should work just fine for the OP's purposes.

MSC is a good house ...and you can choose if you want quality USA made stuff or Chinese crap .{import} They will send you their 2011 catalog on disc.
