[QUOTE="chris matthews, post: 32929, member: 66"] AckleyGuy & QH, Alot of smith's including myself put brakes on with a little bit of lock tight. Several brakes like OPS Inc or Badger "time" up with the barrel shoulder and threads and are not meant to be screwed on and off. If you do the threads will stretch and the brakes can "over" time. I am not saying your cleaning method is wrong, but I have shot, cleaned, and built and rebuilt hundreds of braked rifles that were cleaned with the brake loctited permanently in place with no lose of accuracy. Back to the problem, if you have a small torch you can lightly heat the brake to soften the loctite to remove the brake. PS If brakes are properly installed they do not mess up barrel harmonics, change POI a little but they should not change accuracy. [/QUOTE]
