Ok, so I've been bullied into a brake in order to ensure that that seething mass known as @TimeRider kicks my butt even more this year. So a T3 looks like it will be the go. How do you line them up? Do they get threaded and trimmed to line up with the threading on the rifle? Or shimmed, or on a boss that the break gets fixed to?
Muzzle brakes 101 for complete noobs!
don't stand near, you will blow away
Send it to the man to have it done then it will be timed right. T2 would work to
fuk I hate shooting next to someone using one of those things
T2 will be fine, that is what I had on my 7mm mag and when it was turned into a 7RUM. Just send it it @Kiwi Greg
T2 will be fine but T3 will be better
I have one of each already :DQuote:

Made sure I had earplugs and earmuffs.Quote:

Send me up the barreled action & I can sort it for you, or I can send you a brake & get someone local to fit it :)Quote:

I would also recommend then drilling a few holes through the brake into the barrel and whacking in a few rivets. If you are worried about it after that then a hunk of duct tape will finish the job. If when shooting the rifle, the barrel jumps straight upwards then you have fucked the install up by ninety degrees but rather than undo it all you can just lay the rifle over on its side. Ha ha ha ha.
Or bring it over and I'll weld it on in the right place ;)
Sideways sounds a bit gangsta' Rushy. But then you have met TR.Quote:
