Do brakes help a lot under suppressor?

[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2500726, member: 116181"] That's the key here, there is still a barrel to brake interface for the CB mounts. There might can be something said for using lock-tite to set the brake on the barrel rather than screwing the suppressor on every time, but at the end of the day alignment is based on how the barrel treads and barrel shoulder are cut. I have one brake that's timed with a washer, the other was cut to alignment by the smith who threaded the barrel. No difference between the two in terms of both align correctly. The BA came around from requests for a muzzle device mount and TBAC made one in-house in response. TBAC did not have true "direct thread" for all their suppressors after the BA came out - at least one model (the 338BA) came with a note that you could rock-set a muzzle break into the can to create a direct thread model. To me that shows they think there's no difference between their direct thread and CB mount (which was their goal in developing the taper lock muzzle brake design - to mimic their DT), other than the CB mount turns into a brake when the can is removed. Both should align and repeat the same. FWIW Zak is on the same boat as Greg in terms of the barke/mount does nothing inside the can. [URL unfurl="true"]https://thunderbeastarms.com/products/338ba[/URL] I made a typo up above I can't fix now, I put "DB" instead of CB, and really meant BA because I have the older style brakes.
