[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 911880, member: 2736"] Are you wanting to put a brake on it ? Sometimes I have to remove the front sight to install a muzzle brake if the owner does not want to shorten the barrel. I set the barrel up to install the brake, use the tail stock with a live center in the muzzle to steady the barrel while removing the sight, thread the tenon and time the brake. Contour the brake to the barrel and remove any signs of the site, once this is done I remove the brake and re-crown the barrel, re-install the brake and finish the barrel and brake treatment. This does not apply any heat to the barrel. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
