Pin on brake

[doug01 3]

Hey all,

 

Is there any secret to checking to see if a brake is actually on center. It's a type 74 pin on. I used my cleaning rod but mt brush is slightly bent. I stared down the barrel from both ends, seems ok, just paranoid I guess.

 

Thanks,

Doug

yes goto hardware store and buy a full length, all the way to bolt face dowl rod or metal rod of the propper diamater, as close to 308 as possible and use it as a guide. thats what we did before welding a in on onto mine. found that welding it was beter cause of the blast. then painted whole gun with aluma hyde 2 in a flecktarn pattern. shoots great,,

warning though,,, withthe redirected muzzle blast it will clear the firing line at your range of fellow shooters. but not flys.

hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. It's a great Idea. I used a pencil.....a round one not the octagon shaped. Fit good and helped. I feel a lot better about it now. I don't quite get what you mean with the flies though.

dam flies at range no matter what you do they still hang around .

anyway i will try to post 2 pics of the brake i welded on. never posted before. if it dont work email me and i will send them to you. had to ream out brake to fit flush, easier than turning or cutting on bbl.
