[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1491957, member: 78438"] cut your barrel back and have it re crowned and threaded properly I personally wouldn't buy a brake and install it on a previously threaded barrel. If you have a side port brake it will need to be timed by the gunsmith anyway. If your using a radial brake that doesn't need timed, I still like the smith to make sure it's centered up properly. There isn't much clearance for that bullet, so if there was a slight mistake made to either the barrel or the brake, your bullet can contact the brake. As J E said, this is a critical fit, the tolerances are very tight compared to anything cut with tap and die. Installing muzzle brakes is a gunsmiths job imo. Which brakes do you have? [/QUOTE]
