Not sure what you mean by "is the same". None of the threads per inch (TPI) match between BSF and UNF.


I will agree that any of the BSF, BSW, or BA threads are easily available on ebay as well as other sites. Even left hand threads can be found with a bit of effort.

I have a complete range of BA taps and dies from 0BA to 6BA. It's easy and cheap here in UK. I use this guy all the time for screws/nuts/bolts etc. taps and dies. https://www.ba-bolts.co.uk/
