[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 637739, member: 13110"] Just to clarify I'm not associated with grit nor am I Ross (rem40xb1). I believe grit does smith work. I only do gunsmithing for myself and have for 20 years. 20 years ago I bought a lathe and Ross bought a mill. We taught ourselves to build guns and lots of different versions of muzzle brakes. Now we each have our own lathes and mills. My day job is diesel performance. I build compound and triple turbo's for most of the fastest Duramax drag trucks out there and slugs of 650+hp daily drivers. That's why my handle is Idaho CTD (Cummins Turbo Diesel) Ross got hit by a truck, while on his quad, up on a early deer hunt in August of last year. He spent 28 days in the hospital and 11 of those in intensive care. Now he has about 30% of the mobility he had before. Brakes stretch when they are too thin. Weather they are hardened or not they will stretch if they are too thin. A hardened brake will allow it to be machined thinner without stretching but it's not a huge difference between the two. I personally have never worn a brake out weather it was made from hardened barrel cut off's, chromoly, 304, 1018, annealed 416, etc and I have used some brakes on numerous rifles. I have stretched some and blown some apart from turning them too thin though. Jim's brakes may require hardening because they are milled flat and thinner through the top and bottom web. I've never seen one personally only in a picture so I couldn't tell you if that is the case or not. Carry on Nathan [/QUOTE]
