[QUOTE="Punisher, post: 1047862, member: 76832"] This happened a little while ago, but I wanted to post the pics to show people that aren't quite savvy to the reason yet. In short, you can do damage to your crown and your accuracy will deteriorate. I had a brake fitted by a smith a while back, before I bought the tooling to do this on my own. Not only was the brake a little crooked, but it was put on with Red Locktite. The gun shot great, the smith did a good job, but I couldn't get the thing very clean. Here is picture of all of the carbon built up on the crown... It was more than 1/16th" thick! So, when getting a muzzle brake installed or owning one in general, always pull the thing off when you clean it. I couldn't get the brake torqued to 25 ft/lbs and be in time, so I used BLUE Locktite! To re-install it. It comes off WAY easier (Medium strength Locktite.) Just look at all of the carbon! [/QUOTE]
