[QUOTE="308 nate, post: 204192, member: 1920"] joecool, I have followed hired guns post as he asked questions about a muzzle brake a couple weeks ago and he stated he was having a gunsmith near Minot install his brake. I guess this is how I knew that D.H didn't install it. It would be interesting to know if it was off the 11 o'clock side or the 1 o'clock side when looking at the muzzle. If it was the 1:00 side he took too much and did not feel like going another revolution to correct his mistake, but if it is the 11:00 side it is possible (depending on how far off it is) you could possibly tighten and loosen several times to bring it up to center. I do not lock-tight my brakes on as I have never had a need for it. And it is nice to be able to thread them off if I want, but when they are removed if they are not torqued back on properly they can favor one side or the other. as stated it doesn't take a rocket scientist to index a brake, but you do need to have the eye for it. there are a lot of optical illusions that can trick a person and it may be a good idea from a gunsmiths point to just lock-tight them in the proper rotation to avoid improper re-installation of the muzzle brake, but I would hope that if anyone ever had a problem with a brake that I have installed that they would contact me and give me the chance to correct it.
