[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1199147, member: 4191"] It might not cost too much to have a lathe operator clean up the barrel threads. The female threads inside the brake might be little more difficult... I've had SS bolts / nuts gall on me a number of times in the past. Fortunately not with rifles/firearms. Once the galling gets to a certain point, a lot of thread damage ensues even if the two unthread. A complete lock up is not uncommon and then I'll torque until the bolt is twisted into two separate pieces. [/QUOTE]
