[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1510321, member: 2736"] The price of a muzzle brake install will/can vary greatly because of the rifle barrel length, contour, the equipment required to do the work, the type of brake And the cost of the brake if furnished by the smith. There is realy only one way to install a brake (The right way) and the smith has to determine what way is best. There are many variables that Have to be considered, as Shortgrass has said, and a good smith will decide the best method based on the requirements of the rifle. If you feel the price is high, ask the smith to explain how he will do it and what is involved. If it seems cheep, Be "sure" and ask how he will do it. This is normally where someone takes a die nut and threads the barrel because it is the easiest and cheapest way and then drills a larger hole in the brake to prevent bullet strikes. A properly installed muzzle brake is normally an asset, a poorly installed brake is a determent. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
