[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 487892, member: 4809"] Changing your brakes around is sometimes easier said than done. Brakes come in all kinds of sizes and tpi (threads per inch). Most have a right hand twist, but some come with a left hand twist. Some brakes have been machined at the neck so that the seam is flawless where it meets the barrel (ie: the outside diameter of the neck of the brake is the same od as the barrel at the muzzle). Finally, most brakes are indexed. So if you are able to pull one off one barrel and have it fit on another, it probably won't index correctly on the new rifle. For my money - leave the brakes alone. They seem to be getting the job done. [/QUOTE]
