[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1173292, member: 2736"] You are welcome. Yes, I like to set the entire barrel in the Lathe spindle for the best alignment. Spindle length determines what barrel length you can use in this way. If the barrel is to short to set it in the spindle , then you have to make a choice either to remove the barrel and re head space it or set the barreled action between centers. The main reason I like to remove material from the barrel shoulder is because I already have the barrel set true and It is just a matter of figuring just how much material to remove shy of where you will end up after torqueing. I can also level the action and use this as a benchmark for leveling the brake. Doing all of this work with the barrel in the Lathe is the most accurate way to install any muzzle brake in my opinion because everything is based on the barrel bore. Different actions and barrel lengths require different set ups and must be thought about before installation to get the best results. I am sure others will do things differently, But this is my way and opinion based on finished results. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
