[QUOTE="Roeder, post: 1673505, member: 87340"] You can do this while you have it chucked up, and most likely do a serviceable job, but it would be best to set up the barrel and trim the shoulder on the barrel to time the brake, then bore the brake in place on the barrel. This will give you concentricity so that you don't need to have any more clearance than necessary. I don't know how much affect on accuracy a slightly out of concentricity brake might make. Some believe it is very important. Boring it a bit larger can give you a safety margin but brake efficiency is reduced with more clearance. If you have a nice, blueprinted, custom rifle and access to a lathe, why not go for the best possible job? [/QUOTE]
