[QUOTE="jimirwin, post: 1704531, member: 51801"] For what it's worth...the gun range next door had a Thompson semi-auto that was their most popular rental gun. Trouble was it kept shooting off the muzzle brake. It was held in place by one roll pin that would be sheared off. I enlarged the pin hole so a fatter pin could be used. Finally I noticed what appeared to be some contact with brake muzzle bore. Measured it and darn tootin' it was under bullet diameter. Fouling had built up until the bullet was being swaged thru at every shot until the roll pin failed! So I bored out the fouling and just a few thousandths of metal. No further trouble! I don't expect this would be true for higher intensity rounds, but it's something I suggest looking for whenever possible. [/QUOTE]
