[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 176270, member: 8"] If you look at the brake that James Jones posted, it has slots like a DE brake that should be exactly to the left and right when on the barrel. The gunsmith has to start/ end the threads on the barrel and on the brake so that when it is screwed on the brakes has the slots on the sides and is not slightly rotated. I do not have the slightest clue how a gunsmith actually gets it right, but they do it and it is called indexed. Kirby Allen told me not to be screwing the brake on and off a lot (even though he built me a cap as I asked) because it would slowly lose its index. I did not ask him whether it would be 30 times or 300 times. In fact, I cannot even remember where I put the cap for safe keeping. [/QUOTE]
