[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 2056541, member: 2736"] There will always be different opinions on barrel wall thickness and the minimum I recommend is .150 thickness for each barrel wall. the easy way to find out is to add bore diameter to barrel diameter and if the barrel diameter is less than .300 thousandths larger than the bore diameter then it would be a candidate for a clamp on brake. I have gone as low as .125 but only on low intensity cartridges and small calibers. I personally don't like the looks of the clamp on brakes, but on very thin/small barrels they are a good alternative and are much safer than threading a small barrel and creating other problems. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
