mharris Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 Ok, continuing with barrel questions. We have a jp long muzzle break. Of coarse it doesnt match up. So we either need a crush washer, lock nut, or machine the back of the break down. Now I have heard that since the barrel thread is 5/8x24 and it is .925 that the crush washer and peel washer are not an option. So what are my options? I think machining the back down would be sweet, but I dont know anyone that can do that.
98Z5V Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 Indexing shims, for your barrel diameter. <thumbsup>The mounting area is 5/8", so it doesn't matter what your barrel size is. PWS makes the shim kit, Brownell's sells it (temp out of stock) and nokick.com has it in stock. $4.50.

tonyrnai@gmail.com Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 off topic a little, but i could use a little advice. I just went to install a JP muzzle brake on my lr308. finger tight i still had about 290 degrees to time it. 25 pounds of torque wouldnt come close. i put my old crush washer on and it came around fine with 20 pounds. is this okay to use? and yes it is right side up (ports at top).
