[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 512925, member: 2736"] As stated by others ,It is probably Lock tight. I have seen this before and it is used for several reasons. If the break didn't time perfectly, it is there to hold it in place(After cleaning it up, if it goes a little past the timing that's what it was used for. And you will probably have to use lock tight every time you remove it. Some breaks should be removed when cleaning the rifle and cleaned.(Like the Vias). Other brakes like the Holland do not need to be removed when cleaning because they have the large ports and can be cleaned easily. The smith may have just forgot to tell you that you did not have to remove it if it was that kind of break. With Good fitting threads and a good shoulder breaks do not need Lock Tight and can be removed many times before re-indexing is required. If the break does not require indexing then the choice to use Lock Tight is yours. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
