[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1512283, member: 30902"] You can't tell now how deep the threads were cut originally, they've been partially stripped off. My guess would be that it was loose and as a result stripped out and flew off. I'd give the gunsmith a chance to make it right but it's probably going to cost you a a 1/2" of barrel to correct the problem no matter who fixes it for you. Before it is reinstalled the threads on the brake need to be miked and thoroughly inspected. If it is slightly oversized that would be the source of the problem. No matter how tight you install a slightly oversized component like that it's just not going to take much to strip it out. This whole mess could cost you the price of a new brake at a minimum plus if you go to anyone else the machining/installation charge as well. Either way, he's responsible for his work and he should make it right. [/QUOTE]
