Tighten Muzzle Brake and More?

[KCramer]

What do you use to tighten a Muzzle Brakes and More muzzle brake?

 

[Dusty Stevens]

Allen wrench

My opinion is whatever you can do with your hand tight will work don't stick a wrench on it.

I only have one rifle equipped with one, I use either a strap wrench or a long brass bolt turned to just a little smaller than the ports. Stick it through the ports, use it like a "T handle" and it will loosen it up when the strap wrench won't.

I looked on YouTube and his site. Only found a video on the self timed brake

Got it just a tad short of being timed by hand with Precision Armament Accu-Washer Muzzle Device Alignment System. I think the brass bolt idea would work to get it just a bit further so it's timed.

Allen wrench has always worked for me.

I did see a guy at Nationals one year maybe 2006 that used vice grips. I promise you that’s true. It was at Hawks Ridge. Could even have been 2000.

I was referring to his self timing brakes. It is on his web site.

I use a strap wrench. But you'll need to put one tiny dab of blue loctite on the threads or it will come loose under recoil on a heavy magnum.

My MB&M Beast brake kept coming loose during firing on a 300 NMI. One little dab of loctite on the last couple threads by the shoulder and it's been good ever since.

If the machine work is square hand tight is all you need. If not about a half drop of blue loc tite on the last couple of threads near the shoulder. I'm paranoid if you over tighten it starts to stretch the critical muzzle area.

Hand tight. Never had it loosen up.
