[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2441856, member: 27307"] How many shots have been fired through this barrel? This will determine if it is meaningful to cut the barrel and thread or if the rifle would benefit more from being replaced. Bore scoping by someone with the experience to know what they are seeing will be helpful to understand the condition of the barrel in relationship to the number of shot having been fired. Yes, modern muzzle brakes can be more effective for reducing recoil. Will the reduced velocity be noticeable? Maybe if you have accurate chronograph data from the original barrel porting compared to the new version. In real life, you'll loose little velocity and the loss of cartridge performance will be negligible. If you want to have a new brake installed be sure to use a gunsmith who will pay close attention to making the very best threads square to the bore line, crown and muzzle. A new crown can be a wonderful thing by itself. Enjoy! [/QUOTE]
