[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1173230, member: 2736"] Briefly, question #1. YES on both ends of the barrel. #2. Only if it needs one. #3. I like A head spaced barreled action so that the indexing is based on the action with it made up. #4. I also prefer not to use shims and time the brake buy removing the right amount of shoulder from the barrel tenon for the brake to time the brake with it torqued up. #5. I like to ream the brake after it is installed and timed so that the bore of the brake is perfectly centered on the barrel bore. (Normally .020 to .025 larger than the rifle bore is the optimum bore diameter for the brake). This is just the way I like to install a muzzle brake. Others may do it differently. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
