[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 638732, member: 2736"] The threads look like they were done using a die nut (Not the way to do it) instead of being done on a lathe. I have seen this before and the "Smith" did not want to break the barrel out or did not have the tools to do it properly. You can save the barrel by reducing the barrel threads one size and buying a new break with the smaller thread dia. The other way to fix it is to have a reputable smith remove the threaded portion and re thread it correctly to save the muzzle break. This will shorten the barrel about 3/4 ". I would recomend a new smith and at least get my money back for the work he did. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
