[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2043463, member: 313"] I've had bad luck with keeping my side discharge brakes timed. After removal and reinstallation they eventually seat a few degrees past TDC. Having my smith re-time the brakes is very impractical. This solution sounds ridiculous but it works: I made a super thin shim/washer out of a piece of plastic bag. Placed it over the threaded portion of the muzzle and reinstalled the brake. You can easily tighten the brake to where you want it because the plastic has a bit of give and the brake remains tight. Once the brake is in place I carefully trim off any excess plastic with a razor knife. Not very professional but it actually worked well. [/QUOTE]
