[QUOTE="112Savage, post: 1768981, member: 38801"] Several manufacturers contour light barrels to have a “bell” or step up in diameter right before the threads start (Barrett field craft). I have seen where a gunsmith can thread the rifle further back and place a “permanent” collar which will make an effective larger diameter shoulder for the brake or can to sit against. This collar is threaded with very little relief so that it is tight and then rockset into place. For light weight barrels with ample bore wall thickness but narrow shoulders, this may be an option.
