[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1031846, member: 13110"] Like I said before.....the threaded section of the brake is too short for the correct length of threads on the barrel. It's best to have the same length of threads as the diameter of the threads. It looks about right on the barrel threads but the brake is noticeably short. The first port isn't larger either. It looks that way because the threads are larger and it removes the back of the baffle when it is threaded. This happens when you steepen the angle on the ports. That doesn't really effect the performance since the gases strike the front of the baffle/port not the back. If you look at the outside edge of the port it is the same size on all three ports. It's hard to say exactly what is causing your accuracy loss. It could be because the crown is too close to the first baffle, the clearance hole is too small, or your getting slight baffle strikes. I'd want a new brake at a minimum just so it looked right if nothing else. If a smith did this poor of a install I personally wouldn't trust him to re-crown my barrel. [/QUOTE]
