[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1778658, member: 38048"] Well I install and replace barrels on my match rifles all the time. I use 4 on my 17 pound light gun and I can tell you that nothing changes between them. The tune stays the same. After 3 foul shots the impact point is back to the same. And every short range bench rest competitor will tell you the same. And these are all done on small barrel vices at the range. Nothing fancy. You are correct that any weight taken off the barrel will change the harmonics. Cutting just the threads for a brake will affect your tune. Adding the brake on will change it again. Take it off and put a thread protector on it will change your tune. But once you retune all will be back to normal again. Shep [/QUOTE]
