[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 578934, member: 8"] A side discharge brake must be threaded by a gunsmith so it screws on perfectly timed. Once the barrel and brake are threaded properly you may take it off and put it one any time you want. If you do it a lot you may move the threads enough to cause it to lose timing. You do not need a gunsmith anymore once it is threaded and installed. I made a simple wrench that fits the flats to help break the threads loose after they become locked up with powder residue. A radial brake does not need to be timed but the bottom discharge ports may kick up dust if you shoot prone in lose dirt. Only every once in a while such as when shooting into a headwind does the dust cause me a problem. What I do is have the smith make a cap so if I choose to hunt without the brake I can protect the threads by screwing on the cap. As was mentioned, I make a little card to keep with the rifle that says how the POI changes with and without the brake [/QUOTE]
