Muzzle brake and threading a barrel
« on: February 14, 2015, 04:17:08 PM »
I have a kimber 8400 select that I want to have a muzzle brake installed on (don't care to hear about the pro's and cons of a brake). Do you guys know someone local that you would trust/recommend to have work on a rifle. Its my pride and joy (besides my son) and shoots excellent. I'd like it to follow the same contour with the end of the muzzle if that makes.

Thanks in advance

Omaha, Thanks I missed probably one of the most important parts.  I am willing to drive a couple hours though, just don't really want to ship the rifle.

I am open to options.  This is my first brake so going off a lot of forums and what others have used.  No personal experience yet.
