[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1491832, member: 2736"] First make sure the brakes thread pitch is 24 TPI and 28 TPI and also the tenon threads. If he used a Lathe to cut the muzzle thread tenon they should be right. If he used a die nut they probably are not correct. Buy a thread pitch gauge first, (They are much cheaper than a tap) . If the pitch is right, take your barrels back to the smith and have him fit the brakes to the muzzle tenon on the lathe. Taps and dies are/should never be used on a critical fit like this.
