Will having a thread protector in place of muzzle break effect accuracy

I want to get my barrel threaded for a muzzle break but what if i do not have a muzzle break temporarily and shoot with the thread protector only. Will that effect accuracy since it changes the shape of the crown itself. thank you for any advice

cfp, as with any weight light or heavy, the poi has the tendency to change depending on how rigid your barrel is. By just threading & installing a cap should not alter the poi that much but after you screw-on a muzzle brake the poi could change enough to correct the settings on your sites. Over the years i've noticed that the lighter the tube the more impact a brake will have on the poi. take care Craig
 
Just wondering how it could possibly change the crown ?
I've shot a few of mine with out the break to see what would happen, and nothing did..
 
If done correctly you will not see any difference with or without. It should have been crowned with the thread protector installed.

Be sure your thread protector is secured sufficiently. If it works loose it will definitely effect the accuracy.
 
I've shot a few of mine with/without & with a cap & really no appreciable difference, only in recoil or muzzle blast.
