Shims .5” ID .6” OD

[just_jon]

Looking for a source of .5" ID .6" OD shims to time a muzzle brake on my Savage Striker. Everything I've been able to source has an OD of .75". Thanks in advance.

Good luck-- it will be easier to time the mb by taking a little off the back of the brake.

If you dont want to pay someone to do that (lathe)-- you can do it with a flat file and wet stone-- just go slow and keep the back of the brake flat and true, I've done it on 5 or 6 mbm ss brakes and it worked real well.

These guys can probably fix you up. They have an option for you to send a dwg and they'll make shims for you. Click on link below.

Peel washer and sandpaper? You aren't out much if it doesn't work. The layers aren't very tough when you split them apart, I can't imaging them being resistant to abrasives when stacked.
