[QUOTE="Broz, post: 1048179, member: 7503"] I do not like to lock-tite them on. But here are my views on removing them. Yes, if you remove and replace them enough it will eventually move out of time and need to be re-clocked so top is up. This is due to the fact they register off of a small thin flat area of metal and it does not take a lot to move some metal if over tightened or repeated removal. Do not over tighten a brake. I use sided discharge brakes and tighten them just snug using 1/2 of an old toothbrush handle. Over tightening can put a mechanical squeeze on the end of the barrel and cause it to copper foul there. These are the reasons I like a brake open at the rear so I can easily clean the crown with it installed. Havent taken the brake off my 300 win in probably 1000 rounds. [/QUOTE]
