Bergara Barrel Muzzle Brake Removable?

[dkwellman]

That doesn't look like a bergara muzzle brake. The factory ones are fixed if what a representative at EOS told me.

Thanks. I'll still not sure which way I'll go

If possible, look in from the crown of the brake (ensure gun is unloaded and action open) and see if you can see the barrel/crown up inside of the brake (2 different metals). If you can see the crown and well defined 2 different metals, it is threaded. Apply heat to the brake and then turn it off.

As previously mentioned, it may have LocTite. Apply a bit of heat, with the barrel in a vice, insert a tool ( punch, screwdriver, ect.) through opposing holes in the brake, and turn to remove.

Once removed, throw the brake into your "scrap iron" bucket! I agree……hunting rifles are no place for a brake! memtb

Yes, if you are going to apply force to the barrel, put it in a barrel vice. Don't put the stock in a vice unless you don't care if you crack the stock. It happens.

Does this brake look removable? Bergara barrel but not sure who or when it was installed. Caliber was changed from a 7mm-08 to a 280 AI

Thanks

Brake and barrel have different finishes and diameters = removable.
After removal, you'll need to put a threaded muzzle protector on in place of the brake.
Plan for that?
