[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1792088, member: 2736"] I agree but being the one that has to remove it I feel that enough is enough and more is not needed. The gunsmith that I trained under had the notion that to much torque could alter the chamber dimensions slightly. He was a bench rest shooter and believed in minimal torque, Just not Hand tight. I 'have' seen the effects of over torquing muzzle brakes reducing the tenon size a small amount, not much but it did tighten the bore enough to prevent the proper size pilot from entering. when I hear of a muzzle brake effecting accuracy, this is one of the first things I check especially if it is a brake that has to be timed. (Some just keep torquing until the brake is timed) J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
