Treaded cap for Muzzle brake ?

[rcol317]

Is it a big deal or a problem to add a threaded cap to protect the threads after you have removed the muzzle brake after the brake has been done? I have a rifle with a brake that I'd like to use for hunting. It has a nice brake that is contoured to the barrel and then cerikoted. A couple years ago had a hunting guide almost kill me when I took a shot with my rifle that had a brake, decided it would be better to not have a brake on a hunting rifle when in the field. Thanks Rick

Not a problem at all, and Harrells will sell you one...
I would not hunt with a guide that bitched about a brake !!!!

I would find a new guide. It's your hunt and your paying the bills.

Don't forget to check your zero, sometimes they change quite a bit.

Miswayusa sells them too.

Thread protector is the name of it..

Just order your thread size. I got them for all my rifles.

I hunt with a brake and a PH. I gave him a decent pair of electronic muffs to wear. Everyone is happy.

This. The thinner the barrel and the heavier the brake, the more likely you are to see substantial POI shift. I have a Sporter-profile Borden here that moves 6MOA when you take off the long Borden brake!

Yes I do know the zero may change. On the Brakes I've had put on I alway have a cap made for it. On the brakes that Darrell Holland did for me he made a tread protector just like the brake and they shoot the same place with or without brake. Very nice. I spoke top Harrel's and they can take care of me. Appreciate all the input. Rick
